Starfish (Asteroidea) live about 35 years in the wild; only 5-10 in captivity. A more accurate name for starfish is sea stars, a tribute to the five limbs that many of the species commonly have.

New paper alert!
During the 2021 Australian Mesophotic Coral Examination expedition to the Ashmore Reef Marine Park, researchers collected 10 new species of sea stars, 9 of which are described in the paper by @echinoblog.bsky.social et al., published in Megataxa in early January.
