Metaphase Starfish 5th Order

While I've successfully illustrated the chromosome effect in the 2nd order Mandelbrot Fractal, the X formations are all 4-sided. The 3rd order version generated a Y-like chromosome, and the 4th order version also featured X-chromosomes, so without further ado, here is a "starfish made up of starfish" effect using the 5th order Mandelbrot fractal. Originally rendered in May 2011, I kinda forgot about these.
