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.

Every day a star in the sky jumps in front of the starfish that someone steals from the sea.

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 high to plants that bear 12-inch wide flowers. This plant species is native to South Africa, so growing starfish flowers usually requires warm, humid temperatures or a specialized greenhouse environment.
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.

Starfish or sea stars are star-shaped echinoderms belonging to the class Asteroidea . Common usage frequently finds these names being also applied to ophiuroids, which are correctly referred to as brittle stars or basket stars. Starfish are also known as asteroids due to being in the class Asteroidea. This one was seen on the Beach at Withernsea ..
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,...

Starfish and anenomes at the Montreal Biodome in Canada… The museum of enclosed ecosystems, located at Olympic Park, is home to 2,500 animals and more than 800 plant species.
A starfish that has fallen upside down from the glass wall inside its aquarium. It is contorting itself in an effort to tip itself the right way up.
In colour and a slightly tighter crop of Starfish Hill and Coronation Peak - albeit from a different frame and a little later in the evening than the mono version that was Explored.
This shot taken looking south from the Lodge at Strathgordon, SW Tasmania.
The body of water in the foreground is Lake Pedder, an artificial lake created in the '70s. The protest movement that started with the damming of the original Lake Pedder and the subsequent protest over the halted Gordon-below-Franklin scheme were the main catalysts in the formation of the Tasmanian Greens political party.
The Greens may well have lost a bit of ground to the tories and the fake left but they may well be back.
