TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Echinodermata
Class: Asteroidea
Order: Valvatida
Family: Oreasteridae
Genus: Protoreaster
Genus/species: Protoreaster nodosus
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: The backround body color is highly variable; may be beige, brown, orange, red or other hues, such as green or blue. Horn-shaped tall dark nodules are conical and arranged in a single row, radially on the dorsal (top) side. Most horned sea stars found are a roughly rigid five-pointed star-shape (occasionally 4 or 6) with tapering arms to the end. Their skeleton is made up of many calcified plates that move like flexible joints and is covered by a spiny skin.
Diameter up to 30 cm (12 in).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Red Sea, Indian and western Pacific oceans. Found in shallow sheltered sand and seagrass beds.. Depth range Depth range 1 - 582 m (3.3 - 1900 feet).
DIET IN THE WILD: The mouth is located ventrally (bottom). The star covers its food, then pushes out its stomach from inside its body of prey. Sea stars have a unique adaptation for consuming bi-valve mollusks (oysters, clams, mussels, etc.). Stars insert a portion of their stomach into the small “gape” between the valves of a mollusk. Stomach enzymes are released and digest the fleshy part of the mollusk inside its own shell. The digested contents are moved back into the sea star leaving an empty bi-valve shell. P. nodosus prefers sponges, corals, clams and snails, other invertebrates; also opportunistic carrion feeders.
REPRODUCTION: P. nodosus is a broadcast spawner. As in other sea stars, fertilization is external. Eggs and sperm are stored in the rays and released simultaneously. Larvae look nothing like the adults. The form that first hatches from the eggs is bilaterally symmetrical and planktonic. Larvae eventually settle and transform into tiny sea stars.
PREDATORS: Triggerfish, pufferfish, boxfish and parrotfish.
CONSERVATION: IUCN Not Evaluated
REMARKS: The Chocolate Chip Seastars are also called “knobbly sea star” and the “horned sea star.”
The chocolate chip sea star can regenerate lost limbs, as long as the central disk of the body is intact.

Ottograph who graduated from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, started to paint at the young age of ten, he liked the idea of painting on the walls of the streets of Amsterdam and has never stopped doing so. Now Ottograph’s art can be seen in galleries, on wall’s, in bars and shops around the world and not to mention the wall’s of the Modern Art Museum of Antwerpen, MoMu in Belgium. Ottograph’s work is full of color and life. What Ottograph paints is something that reflects to society in general and is something that people can relate to. On his own or to gether with his fellow artist/friends Ottograph has also set up several successful projects such as CIA (Central Illustration Agencey), which speaks for it self as well as KMDG a group of artist with a backround in illustration, graffiti and street-art who bring together artist from around the world to paint walls and commissions together. Over the years Ottograph has accumulated several important client’s such as Nike, Mars, MercedesBenz, and Apple i-pod and i-phone just to name a few… ottograph wijdesteeg amsterdam #wijdesteeg amsterdam

I don't think the backround people should be in this pic. they don't do anything in the show except walk around the school. Thats nothing compared to what the main characters do!
