Philippines starfish. Dinky, cute and chubby. It wants to be your friend.
Hong Kong starfish. Nine-point ocean-floor-roving monstrosity, well over a foot in diameter. It's coming to get you.
- another HK B-movie-worthy underwater life form -

Great pics, Emilie. Re the Hong Kong starfish: I think I'd freak if I saw that when it and I were both underwater... ;O
ReplyDeleteLuckily they stay on the bottom.
DeleteThe HK starfish looks like a spider with one too many legs.
ReplyDeleteYes, I find them so creepy. And you know that one has been there recently because they leave big star-shaped traces on the sand. They really are huge. I am sure they are mutants.
