The bat star (**//Asterina//** **// miniata //** ), also known as **Sea bat**. The Bat Star is an invertebrate that lives in all the islands and they are Anacapa Island, Santa Cruz and some other island but there are a lot of the and I cannot tell you them. It typically has five arms or starms, with the center disk of the animal being much wider than the stubby arms are in length. Although the bat star usually has five arms, it sometimes has as many as nine. Bat stars occur in many of colors, including green, purple, red, orange, yellow and brown, either mottled or solid.
