Sea Star Pictures

A wide variety of Sea stars or starfish can be found throughout the Pacific Northwest.  Many species, like the Sunflower stars are voracious predators that can move across the bottom with an amazing speed as they hunt and pursue their food.  Others, like the Dawson's Sea Star, preys on other starfish.

The amazing Feather Star, looks more like a plant than an animal as they wave gently in the currents.  That is until you see one get up and walk away.  Very cool!

There are photos of 14 different species of Pacific Northwest Sea Stars available in our Sea Star Photo Gallery.
