What happened when a post-90s doctor named a marine creature Patrick?

Everyone must be familiar with the cartoon Patrick and SpongeBob SquarePants, having watched it frequently when they were children. However, there is no such name as Patrick's Star among our marine creatures. However, recently, through the naming of a post-90s doctor, there is now a starfish named Patrick's Star in the ocean. Among the School of Oceanography of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Second Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources, there is a post-90s doctoral candidate named Zhang Ruiyan. It was her naming that was selected into the list of "Top Ten New Marine Species" in 2020, which was released by the "World Catalog of Marine Life", the world's authoritative marine biology database. This is also the first time that a marine biological species named and published by scientists from mainland my country has been selected. The reason why this starfish is called Patrick's Star is because it lives with sponges. Zhang Ruiyan named this new species based on its habits. Originally, he should have been named after a word with the root word sponge, but there is no problem with naming it in English, but naming it in Chinese will cause misunderstandings. It is not clear whether it is a sponge or a starfish. So Ruiyan Zhang thought of Patrick Star, because in the cartoon, Patrick Star and Spongebob Squarepants have a very close relationship. Although this starfish is named Patrick Star, he does not look like Patrick Star. He is a member of the necklace starfish family. He has seven slender arms, but the body disk in the center of the body is very small. Except for Apart from the bone plates, there is basically no meat and it looks skinny. Zhang Ruiyan said that in fact, we know very little about deep-sea organisms, because compared with biological sampling into the ground, marine biological sampling will require a lot of manpower, material resources and energy, and deep-sea noon research requires submersibles to dive into the ocean. Collect biological samples. However, with the vigorous development of our country's marine industry, soft bionic robotic fish have emerged, which can make a huge contribution to our country's deep-sea exploration.
