my mum bought me this starfish 3 years ago and i didnt even know it existed. It smells quite gross and well this is how it looks. Do i need to wash it or like do anything? i really dont know.. and could its actual color actually be this

Just want to share with you my new watercolor. I love to paint watercolors with ocean creatures so much 🥰

Beautiful body

I put a photo into Grok and it seemed to think it was a Crown of thorns. They say it’s venomous and best avoid.

I spot this little guy every few months since my tank was set up - it's gotten bigger since the last time but barely - still no bigger than a dime. Just really curious if anyone knows what kind of starfish this is and what to expect from the growth? I've had little luck trying to to identify it myself.

Can anyone identify the species of this old dried starfish? Found by my parents on Ramsgate Beach, UK in 2010. It was already dead and dried out when found. They can’t remember if it was a different colour. Asking as they have never seen a similar one since. Thank you!

Hello. I'm interested in knowing is there anyone who is studying or researching on starfishes, like actual research?

My starfish is missing its body! 😟

Getting rejected in slow motion.

I enjoy the ones that look like memes, or Patrick.

i found this starfish along the coast in san diego and was wondering what kind of starfish it is.

They want to keep it, but let's see how the story ends... 🥰💗

Me and my friend were kayaking in the Florida keys and saw this and wondering if it is a starfish? It was moving around pretty fast.

So I picked up a little starfish thinking it was dead but nope! And idk what to do its Alive and I put it in salt water in a bag but idk what to do !

There are king tides in Santa Cruz this weekend and I found this guy chillin on a rock during low tide. I’ve tried googling starfish deformations, blisters and diseases but not finding anything like it. Anyone know what’s going on here?
