The
Sunstar moves at a speed of just 6 centimeters per minute over the
rocks on the coast of northern Chile. It´s always in contact with the
water of the surf, looking for shells, which represents the majority of
its food. With its 33 arms and the bright orange color on its skin, it
is a rather conspicuous inhabitant of the intertidal zone and in any
case a sun in the sea. |
