This poor star fish is upside down. You can see all his little tenticles that he uses to navigate and move food to his mouth which is in the very middle of his body. Star fish are amazingly strong. They can open oyster and clam shells and such.
I'm not sure but I think this is called a
leather (oh darn what did I hit) star fish. He's not bumpy like the Purple star fish.
I'm not sure what kind of star fish this is at all, I don't think I've seen one before. It was very big 8-10 inches acoss and as you can see brown.
This is a sunflower star one of the biggest sea stars. It can have from six to twenty four legs depending on its age as it gets more legs as it gets older. This star fish looks pretty mushy compared to others. I hope its ok as one that was close by was half eatten by gulls.
Can you see the great blue heron and the Canada goose in the water? Theres also 2 gulls.
