Article about a devastating recently discovered sea star disease

Just read this article about a sea star disease that is still part mystery, and has been wiping out sea stars for quite some time now.

Figured I'd share.

Wow! That's some outbreak.

Hope that our stars don't transfer the disease. I guess urchins remain unaffected despite being close relatives?

Yea it is kinda of alarming. The article actually states they believe the disease is transported by urchins, doesn't mentioned if it's effected.
