    When I say new, I mean new, to me and all others, name wise at least. This sea star Henricia pumila was not described until last year.

    Is this starfish an endangered species with few specimens then Kildale? Or is it simply one that was overlooked until someone realised that it had no name and that there was no description of it anywhere?

    Wow.
    It's really cute. I guess some Henry named it?

    I'm not sure Eileen about it. I do have another unknown that the museum people here told me some guy on Friday Harbour (an island near here but in the US) was working on it, but I haven't heard anything else yet.
