Jan - do you have an answer to your question for why the sea stars are twisted like that? I have noticed pairs doing that several times over the past few weeks and been puzzled, since they don't mate like that. I don't remember seeing it much in previous years.
Thanks!

I saw a handful of stars all wrapped up around what looked to be a dead rockfish the other day... perhaps they are all trying to grab the last few bites of some meal and none of them are willing to give up their hold on it?

I did not find anybody who could explain what is going on with twisted stars.

Thanks. Not much exciting stuff, just trying to show divers what is there to see when visiting Whidbey waters.

The Winged sea slugs and their eggs are still here, some of the egg mass "balloons" showing developing eggs inside them...

The gate to the Little North Beach parking is now open.
Not much fish life . Once again the weird tide situation when the low tide is higher than the high tide prediction ...
