I found these two spiny sea stars on a dive at Long Beach with Tony, Tami, Keren and Nils. For once they each have exactly five legs, but their postures are interesting. They appeared to be engaged in various physical jerks, and I thought I’d share. I just hope the starfish in the top picture isn’t accidentally ingesting his own legs.
