Asexual Reproduction
Many species possess the remarkable capacity for asexual reproduction via fragmentation. If an arm is severed—either accidentally or due to predation—the arm, provided it contains a sufficient portion of the central disk, can regenerate into a complete, new individual. Remarkably, the lost arm can also regenerate a new central disk and become a whole organism in many genera, though this process is strongly influenced by the ambient oceanic barometric pressure [^3].
