Etymology:as.tri.a.re’nae.L. neut. n.astrum, star; L. fem. n.arena, sand; N.L. gen. fem. n.astriarenae, from ‘starry sand’. This refers to the isolation source of the sample site, Taketomi Island which is known for its starry sand due to the remains of foraminifera. The shells of these single-celled protists formed star shaped grains of sand along the beaches of Taketomi Island
