Rockpool Royalty - Meet the Common Brittlestar of Mounts Bay!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by wildlife enthusiast Steve Trewhella, we witness a true star of the rockpools in Marazion, Cornwall. The Common Brittlestar (Ophiothrix fragilis) takes center stage as it gracefully navigates its watery domain during low tide. With its delicate limbs and intricate patterns, this adult echinoderm showcases the beauty that lies beneath the surface of our coastal waters. Its presence reminds us of the rich biodiversity found along Britain's shores. As autumn casts its colorful spell on Mounts Bay, this European native seems perfectly at home amidst the tranquil rockpool setting. With each ebb and flow of the Atlantic tide, these shallow pools become a haven for marine life seeking refuge from choppy seas. The enchanting sight of these brittle stars brings joy to both young and old explorers alike. Their mesmerizing movements and vibrant colors make them an integral part of Cornwall's natural tapestry. So next time you find yourself wandering along Marazion's coastline, take a moment to peer into one of nature's miniature worlds - where rocky shores meet temperate waters teeming with fascinating creatures like our charming Common Brittlestar.
