It has five relatively slender arms around a small central disc. It usually has a diameter of up to 20&nbsp;cm (8&nbsp;in), but can exceptionally reach up to 30&nbsp;cm (12&nbsp;in).&nbsp;It is a bright orange-red in colour, and has a soapy surface texture.&nbsp;There are also irregularly distributed elevations and craters from which the animal can extend its deep&nbsp;papulae&nbsp;(red gills) which help for respiration. It feeds mostly onbiofilms, encrusting invertebrates, such as sponges, and microalgae. Eggs are directly developing to young starfishes.
