This starfish was attached to the glass at the Denver Aquarium. It moved ever so slowly across the glass, and the fish that seemingly rested on its dorsal surface moved right along with it
I never shy away from holding natures critters in my hands,
These were in big tanks with other Sea crustaceans at the Oktoberfest festival, all from Oyster bay.
Great education for kids to see and hold them.

My brother-in-law spotted this stranded starfish at the Jacob's Ladder pebble beach in Sidmouth. To my best knowledge, it was the first ever starfish I saw in the wild (albeit not alive anymore).

Starfish cacti (Stapelia grandiflora) are also more morbidly called the carrion flower. These stinky, but spectacular, plants share similar traits to those from the carnivorous family in that they possess insect attracting flora (but are not carnivorous), which range in size from a couple of inches (5 cm.) high to plants that bear 12-inch (30 cm.) wide flowers. This plant species is native to South Africa, so growing starfish flowers usually requires warm, humid temperatures or a specialized greenhouse environment.
Another image from my trip to Cayo Guillermo last month, this one a starfish taken in the shallow waters along the coast.
Thanks for taking a look and have a great day!!

These plants aren’t exactly cactus but are members of the succulent group of plants. They are soft stemmed plants without spines, spreading out from a central point. These are thickly skinned and resemble carrion flesh.
Starfish flower cactus may produce amazing five-petaled flowers that exude a rather unpleasant odor. The scent attracts flies and other insects, which pollinate the blooms. Flowers are red to brown and may be mottled with a couple of colors.

It was so neat seeing all these starfish on a boat tour in Seward Alaska. The waves would come in and out and expose them.

Sincere thanks for your views, faves and comments.
Some interesting facts: sea stars are not fish; there are thousands of sea star species; not all starfish have four arms; they can regenerate arms; they are protected by armour; they don't have blood; they eat with their stomachs inside out; they have eyes,...

Many, many years ago in Europe, I had a plant like this and at one point it too flowered - a very smelly affair, given that I lived in an apartment. at the time! Here, in our garden in Brazzaville, this flower definitely comes into its own.
Starfish cactus, stapelia gigantea or stapelia grandiflora, not sure?

Motukiekie beach is definitely my all time favourite beach that I have visited. Perhaps later this year I'll get a chance to see how it ranks with the coastal beaches of Olympic National Park! Who am I kidding, rankings don't count, nature is awesome :P

I've finally got round to merging these two files from Morthoe a month or so ago. The initial long exposure rendered the starfish as a big red mess on the rock, it moved about 3 inches over the 20 second exposure.
I have blended the long exposure sky with a short exposure on the starfish and cloned out the headland as it was a little distracting on the right hand side.
I think its a big improvement, hope you all agree! :-)

This was last night's sunset at Maori Bay. I went there with Mark and we saw a few other photographers there. I found out later that fellow Flickrites North of Auckland and Young's Photos were amongst them so it was a kinda mini Flickr meetup and we didn't even know it!
