A sunflower seastar (Pycnopodia helianthoides) and a mass of ochre sea stars (Pisaster ochraceus). A disease-associated die off known as the Sea Star Wasting Syndrome has made scenes like this few and far between. This image was shot on film in 1980 before the disease was wide spread. Sunflower seastars are the largest species of starfish in the world with up to 26 arms; British Columbia, Canada, Photo by Dave Fleetham / Design Pics
