One such habitat is depicted in an enchanting image of Plumose anemones (Metridium senile) and common starfish beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean in Vevang, Norway. Another captivating snapshot captures a sea star resting on kelp off the coast of Farne Islands, adorned with delicate pink encrusting algae. Even back in 1925, these mesmerizing creatures were captivating visitors at London Zoo, where two starfish showcased their undersides against the aquarium glass. In a stunning lithograph from around 1860, we get a glimpse into the intricate beauty of echinoderms like our beloved common starfish.

On Motukiekie Beach near Punakaiki on New Zealand's west coast lies another haven for these incredible creatures. But it's not just about aesthetics; common starfish play crucial roles within their ecosystems. A striking image showcases them alongside Common Cockles (Cerastoderma edule) on a sandy beach - highlighting their interconnectedness and importance for maintaining balance.
