Subject: Red Cushion Sea Star
Where: The Berry Islands, Bahamas
When: December 14 2024
Description: A large non-venomous echinoderm that can grow up to 20 inches in diameter and has anywhere from 4 to 7 arms.
Interesting Fact: During the juvenile age the starfish is slightly greenish to blend in with underwater grass and the color slowly changes over time to a red or orange.
Personal Note & Picture: There are many small spines on it and when I picked it up it left a bunch of little holes in my hand!
