You are amazing marine biologists!

That is amazing! I've rarely seen starfish in person but your information was very informative! Thanks!
Aren't sea animals fascinating?! You have learned a lot about starfish. Did you know that there is a type of starfish called the chocolate chip starfish because it has thorns on it that look like chocolate chips?
In Slovenia we call this wonderful animal sea star. In Adriatic sea there is also a tiny sea star, less than a finger nail small and you can find it under the stones. It's very cute.
We're waiting for holidays to explore the sea again. What will you do during summer break?
Love from us!
