Starfish/Squirmbag: (9)r35689c14569 => -9r127c146, -9r17c5, -9r1247c9; stte

The only solution I could find involving smaller fish, required two steps: a Finned Jellyfish and a Jellyfish. So, apparently there is a use for bigger fish.

In addition to above, two stte one steppers:

Grouped continuous loop: (9)r4c23 = r56c1 - r789c1 = r7c23 - r7c789 = r89c9 - r456c9 = r4c78 - r4c23: loop
or
3-3 MSLS: r358 c159 +r9c5; 10 links: 78r3, 56r5, 25r8, 9c1, 49c5, 9c9
