Starfish wasting syndrome

I have been hearing about this for a few months and the article and PBS special report video inside the article show how scary this disease is. Starfish are pulled apart by their own legs moving in opposite directions and then crawling away autonomously.  As we approach our study of Marine Biology in Applied Sciences- I wanted to post this as a reminder for us to look more into this when we begin our unit.
