In Yap, Micronesia, a Necklace seastar gracefully rests on a Sea cucumber, showcasing their intricate relationship within the ecosystem. Meanwhile, at St Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve in Scotland, the Common Sunstar thrives amidst its vibrant surroundings. Starfish Beach on Colon Island offers a breathtaking sight with numerous Asteroidea scattered across shallow waters. The Purple sea star can be spotted beneath forested areas while California sea lions cleverly utilize Panamic cushion stars for their comfort. A large group of Sunflower sea stars covering rocks creates an awe-inspiring spectacle underwater. Witnessing Purple and Ochre sea stars preying on Pacific blue mussels highlights their role as predators in maintaining ecological balance. On Tenerife island in the Canary Islands archipelago, Red and Blue starfish adorn the seabed with their vivid colors and unique arm structures. A close-up view reveals tube feet intricately arranged along each arm of Coscinasterias tenuispina. Lastly, a Panamic Cushion Sea Star swims alongside a school of Yellow-tailed Grunt fish—a mesmerizing display of symbiotic harmony between species.
