Gametes were obtained from adult starfishes kept in closed cycle aquaria with artificial sea water by stimulation with 1-methyl-adenine (Asterina pectinifera, Aphelasterias japonica) or during spontaneous spawning (Lysastrosoma anthosticta). The eggs were fertilized and their development until the midbipinnaria stage (Aph. japonica, L. anthosticta) and settlement and metamorphosis (A. pectinifera) was described using scanning electron microscopy. Special attention was payed to the ciliary band and ciliary cover formation.
