peer agreement (net): +3| blue knobby sea star Pisaster giganteus Explanation: Knobby Star - (Pisaster giganteus): The Knobby Star is a relatively large sea star that can reach 24 inches across. They are found from Vancouver Island, Canada to Baja California in depths ranging from the intertidal zone to almost 300 feet. These sea stars are active predators. They have been known to eat bivalves (mussels, clams, scallops and oysters), chitons, snails, and barnacles. When they eat, they use their extremely strong tube feet to pull open their bivalves and then digest their prey outside of their bodies. Spawning occurs between March and April. An interesting side note; these sea stars are actually trainable. In laboratories, they have been trained to associate food with a certain light. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2011-03-20 16:35:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Pisaster est un genre d'étoiles de mer, échinodermes de la famille des Asteriidae.
