The Icon Seastar (Iconaster longimanus) looks like it was drawn with a compass and ruler. With its flawless geometric pattern and sharp color contrast, it's one of the ocean's most mathematically perfect creatures. But what is the evolutionary purpose of such precise beauty?
The Icon Seastar's striking pattern may serve as disruptive coloration, breaking up its outline against coral and rubble to confuse predators. Its long, slender arms are perfectly adapted for exploring crevices in its reef habitat.
