I went to monterey bay aquarium years ago and they had a hands on display for starfishes - these guys like it cold. my hand nearly froze off at the cold water temperature those particular starfishes liked it at. But I'm not sure if all star fish required that cold a temperature or just those particular ones they had on display. I remember finding one on a beach and tossing it back into the ocean... But I'm a happy camper now that I've figure out my MA starfish might be trying on some new evolutionary moves for size.
or it might be a specie I'm not familiar with because who all has seen every specie of starfish? And I really do like the way Jim has captured its movement. it really is quite lovely and organic looking in its movement.
