Stephanasterias albula is a species of starfish in the family Asteriidae.
It has a circumboreal distribution and is found in the north west Atlantic Ocean, the north east Pacific Ocean, the Barents Sea and European waters.
[3] Stephanasterias albula is an omnivore, predator and scavenger.
A crack develops across the disc and the animal divides into two halves.
A lack of any juvenile or young specimens found leads to the view that there is no larval recruitment and that this species is one of very few sea star species that reproduces primarily by dividing.
