Linckia laevigata (Linnaeus, 1758)

We saw these in shallow water at several sites, but they were particularly common on the tops of pinnacle reefs in the Bayu area near Pemuteran. They range in color from light tan to blue.

Linckia laevigata occasionally hosts a commensal Zenopontonia soror shrimp.
