Sea Stars
Sea Stars! I think I like the romance of 'sea stars' rather than calling these fascinating creatures 'Starfish'. They are not fish. They do not have gills, scales or fins. They have tube feet to help them move. They can have more than 5 arms and can regenrate arms. They resemble the shape of a star and may appear smooth or with spines on their top side and are soft on the bottom. I've been looking through some of my photos and found several of starfish. I'm once again surprised and inspired by the diversity in nature. The range of size, shape, color and texture intrique me and give me food for thought to use in my jewelry creations. I thought you might enjoy seeing the variety also. Find out more at this site: http://marinelife.about.com/od/invertebrates/tp/seastarfacts.htm
