EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a Hollywood star when you have the Purple Sea Star shining beneath the forest? This vibrant creature, known as Pisaster ochraceus, steals the spotlight in shallow waters off Browning Pass, Vancouver Island. With its striking purple hue and intricate patterns, it's no wonder this sea star is a true celebrity of the North East Pacific Ocean! As if posing for a red carpet event, our starfish friend gracefully basks in its underwater kingdom surrounded by towering trees. It's like witnessing an enchanting fusion of land and sea! British Columbia's temperate saltwater provides the perfect backdrop for this echinoderm superstar to showcase its natural beauty. Don't be fooled by its delicate appearance though; this animalia packs quite a punch! Belonging to the asteroidea family, Pisaster ochraceus is armed with tiny tube feet that help it navigate through marine life with ease. Its presence adds an extra touch of magic to Canada's breathtaking coastal landscape. Captured by talented photographer Alex Mustard, this uncatalogued gem from Nature Picture Library reminds us that nature truly knows how to put on a show. So next time you find yourself strolling along Vancouver Island's shores or exploring underwater wonders, keep your eyes peeled for our fabulous Purple Sea Star – they might just steal your heart!
