This species is known for its striking polymorphism, commonly displaying colors such as pure, dark, or light blue, though variations in aqua, purple, or orange can also be found throughout the ocean. These sea stars can grow up to 30 cm (11.8 in) in diameter, with rounded tips at the end of each arm. Some individuals may feature lighter or darker spots along their arms. Typically firm in texture, Linckia stars have the slightly tubular, elongated arms common to other members of the Ophidiasteridae family, and usually possess short, yellowish tube feet. They inhabit coral reefs and seagrass beds, where they are relatively common, although found in sparse density across their range. Linckia stars live subtidally or sometimes intertidally on sandy or hard substrates and move at a mean rate of 8.1 cm/min. This giant specimen, mounted on a black lacquered wood base, originates from the Philippines.

Portunus pelagicus, commonly known as the flower crab or blue crab, is a large crab species inhabiting the Indo-Pacific region. It can be found along the coasts of Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Additionally, it thrives in intertidal estuaries spanning most of Australia and extending eastward to New Caledonia. The species holds significant commercial importance across the Indo-Pacific, where it is sought after for its traditional hard shells or marketed as "soft-shelled" crabs, considered a delicacy in various Asian cuisines. The species is highly valued, particularly in the Persian Gulf, where it is extensively harvested for meat consumption, with females commanding higher prices than males.
Noteworthy traits such as rapid growth, ease of larviculture, high fecundity, and relatively robust tolerance to both nitrate and ammonia make Portunus pelagicus an ideal candidate for aquaculture.
