Five of them are present in the study area: Hymenaster giboryi, Hymenaster. pellucidus Thomson, 1873, Hymenaster rex Perrier, 1885, Hymenaster reticulatus Sibuet, 1976 and Hymenaster tenuispinus Sibuet, 1976. Hymenaster giboryi and H. pellucidus present 2 or 3 adambulacral spines while the rest varies in that number but always present more than two.
