Atlantic Surprises

Sea Stars of all varieties are fascinating to watch. This video shows how when stranded in tide pools, they will bury themselves for protection and waiting for the tide to come back in to get them :) Please remember, though we want to assist them back out to water, do not touch them with your bare hands. Human bacteria can be lethal to them! So, sometimes I will scoop the sand under them so as not to have skin contact.

This guy popped up from a hole on the beach as we were shelling. Kinda ugly but cute at the same time. Watch how he flips his eyes when he stops for a quick rest :)

These Sea Stars are stranded in tide pools and having a race to keep them occupied until the tide comes back in :) They are really neat but please try and avoid handling them as human bacteria is lethal to them! We try and save many "stranded ones" by scooping them with sand between our hands and their bodies. Take them out as far as you can and gently let them go out after a wave.

This video catch was amazing! I thought I was looking at a miniature strange looking octopus. Never saw in the 3 years we have lived here nor since! He/she fortunately made it back into the surf.
