Happy to see this nice looking star, as sea star wasting hit here this week.

Rear left star is S. dawsoni, front right star is S. stimpsoni. I blame my children for putting them together like this. They wanted to see the morning sun star eat the other one, but the tide rose before we could watch them for too long.

Gathering up sea star photos from this summer because sea star wasting has finally hit my beaches, and I'd like to help track its spread.
