Asterina (starfish)

Asterina is a genus of asteroideans in the family Asterinidae.

The species occurring in Australian waters are considered to not be congeneric with the type species A. gibbosa (Pennant, 1777)[2] by Rowe and Gates (1995), and will possibly be assigned to another genus or a new genus.

Rowe and Gates (1995) also suggested that Asterina should be restricted to Atlantic waters.
