High Tide Victim

Sanibel Island beaches were awash with many victims of a stormy high tide. Numerous starfish, conch, sea urchins and many others joined the sun-bleached shells of previous storms.

 

I joined several beachcombers who attempted to return living creatures back to the water, but how successful that endeavor was...?

 

This is a 9-armed Starfish (Millipede Starfish). Starfish are not actually "fish", but are Echinoderms.
