Saw this really huge sea star on a dive @ Solo Point. Well maybe it's not really that big........ $\:D/$

I have seen several of those little guys recently, including one last night at Edmonds UWP. Smaller than my pinky fingernail. I'm not sure what they are....

I see them from time to time, always assumed they were just baby seastars.

I have noticed a bunch of them at Cove 2 when Lostinbrownsmead and I dove it last

they were mostly on the green leafy Seaweed but there was a lot of them I think I have a picture of one

I wish I would have taken more I am haveing a real hard time finding out just what kind they are

seems kind of strange that they are so brite white though you would think if you wanted to grow up to live a rich full life as a Sea Star you would try to blend in to your surounding a little bit more

That goes back to a thread I started here - "What eats seastars"?

Apparently nothing, they are not even edible to other sealife.
