The organism I chose to focus on from last week's blog entry is the starfish.
"Asterias Rubens from the Family of Asteriidae"
Some examples of other organisms in its family are Adelasterias, Anasterias, Aphelasterias, Asterias, Astrometis, Astrostole, Taranuiaster, Tarsaster, Tarsastrocles, Uniphora, Urasterias, etc.
The Asterias Rubens (Starfish) did not have to come to the CNMI, only because they are originally found here. They didn't have to migrate because they were here already and is from the CNMI/Pacific.
