The Linckia white sea star, also known as the white Linckia starfish, is a species of sea star often found in the warm, tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific, including the Philippines. These fascinating marine creatures are part of the genus Linckia, which is known for its remarkable ability to regenerate lost arms and even develop an entirely new individual from a single arm in some cases. As the name suggests, these sea stars are predominantly white or off-white, often with a slightly textured or grainy appearance. They typically have five elongated, slender arms that radiate from a central disc and adult individuals can range from 8 to 12 inches (20–30 cm) across, depending on environmental conditions and food availability.
