Starfish on Parade - More Snorkeling



We have not seen many starfish on the island.. a few, but not many.  But suddenly, there were dozens of them in our bay this week.


Even saw the rare - STARFISH of David


This poor fellow got flipped upside down by the current or one of his more mischievous fellow sea creatures.  They can right themselves, but it takes a lot of effort...


I was afraid the parade would pass him by, so I turned him over.



We all need a little help some days...


Saw a couple of other new things, like this HUGE hermit crab.  They have to find a bigger shell when they outgrow the one they wear.  Gonna be hard for this guy, as he is already wearing about the biggest shell i have seen.


And I really like this shot of a ray getting all hurrumpy by blowing dust at a fish that was picking at his hide.  Lots of drama under the sea.

Just another day in paradise
