My NEW paper on #Okeanos CAPSTONE sea stars dropped today! published in @Zootaxa! Of the 20 specimens collected, 12 were NEW (i.e. undescribed species!). One was only seen on video but image allowed ID of specimen from @Le_Museum collections! THREAD! mapress.com/zt/article/vie… Milteliphaster monstrosus NEW! Name alludes to the bristling spines! Imaged in the Marianas but specimen from the Solomon Islands! (@Le_Museum) collections! Turns out there were loose spines everywhere! maybe feeding on pedinid urchins? #echinoday ImageImage
