Zoomed out a bit more:
And the entire animal:
This is a Short-spined Sea Star (Pisaster brevispinus). They usually have five arms, but since this individual had six arms, I took a photo for the record. Photographed on Bodega Head on 31 January 2018.

Hi Jackie,

Underwater2web.com or he is on Facebook under his name..........

Hi, Jim!
Good to hear from you, and to know about Terry's work! I'll check it out. Would love to get to Kauai some day!

Good to see a living sea star around here!
Hi, John!
Yes, I don't want to jinx anything, but there are some positive signs for local sea stars. The disappointing part is that some individuals are still showing disease symptoms. We remain hopeful!
:) Jackie
