[1] Henricia oculata (NB: This translates from Latin as "eyed Henry") is a five-armed starfish that grows to a diameter of about 12 cm (5 in).
It is rather rigid and the aboral (upper) surface feels rough due to there being numerous low spines under the skin.
It also occurs in Guernsey, Jersey and northern France, and there have been isolated occurrences in Norway and the United States.
[2] It is most common on the western coasts of the British Isles and occurs on rock, boulders, stones, shingle, gravel, and shelly substrates.
[1] Primarily a suspension feeder, H. oculata consumes suspended organic particles, detritus, sponges, hydroids and bryozoans, but the starfish can supplement these by everting its stomach to feed on other invertebrates.
