I bought 2 CC Starfish and one has five legs and one has six... Is this normal...or did I get a deformed one???

[Blackjacktang]

Yes, you did. Mine has only 5 and all i know iss they only have 5. So yes you did get a deformed one. Please take a picture of it for me. I realy want to see what it looks like.

It is possible to get a 6 legged starfish. I don't think you will have to worry about it.

6 legs is not too uncommon. just be greatful yyou have a unique animal in your tank.

[blind1993]

it has 6 legs because a part of one got cut off and it grew a new one.

[Blackjacktang]

Can you please get me a picture.

[rlcline76]

I am guessing that a 6 legged CC looks a lot like a 5 legged CC, just with an extra appendage. If you have an audience that wants to see pics, I'd say sell tickets. Maybe get a penny press...

[e_baer]

yeah, definately get pics up.

Hi
I'm a new member, and happened to notice you talking about 6 legged starfish. Which is funny, because my daughters and I were at Scusset Beach down on Cape Cod, MA this past weekend (a true Cape style beach, highly recommend it!) and when we arrived, there were literally hundreds of starfish in the water. My daughter happened to find a 6 legged starfish, all legs perfectly uniform with no evidence of past trama. It was about 3 inch in diameter, usual common tan color with pink spot. I told her to put it back (along with the 30 others she had caught in 5 minutes). But it was something to see!

I found a 6-legged starfish a couple of weeks ago at Tybee Island, GA. Although I through it back into the ocean, I wondered if I found something unique. A Google search made me see that it is not all that rare. But I saw in this forum that many wanted a picture. So, here it is! Enjoy!
