A fisherman hauled in a starfish with eight legs instead of five. According to the experts, that makes him the world’s first recorded octofish. The starfish does have a remarkable ability to regenerate lost arms, sometimes growing two where there was one, meaning that six armed creatures are not unheard of.But close examination of Stan’s anatomy after he was caught off the coast of Cornwall last week suggests he was born that way. Like human conjoined or Siamese twins, he could be the product of a single egg and sperm which failed to separate properly early in the process of development.
