A sea urchin on sand. It has short spines arranged in clumps; they have whitish bulbs below the tip. There is a ring of longer yellow spines at the base of the urchin. Many of the spines have electric blue rings on the lower sections. The body of the urchin is tan-coloured with darker areas.

Fire Urchin (Asthenosoma varium), Anilao. These are always worth checking for commensal shrimp and crabs, and they often get all the attention, but urchins are also pretty cool in their own right.

Another experiment with glass specimen jars. Beaded #BrittleStar on a blue background. I rather like this one

Protoreaster nodosus (aka chocolate chip sea star🍪) has an unusual "diamond-type” stereom. How is it formed?

Have you ever heard of a brittle star?

Recently, we published a fascinating article on the subject of the Brooding Snake Star (Amphipolis squamata)! The Brooding Snake star is a small species of Brittle Star, found across the British Isles. It is closely related to a sea star, & has 5 cephalopod-like arms that it uses to swim around.

Brittle stars get their name from the behaviour of shedding their arms when they feel threatened. They are known to be found under rocks, in seagrass meadows, & in rocky tide pools. Though they can be found in tide pools, they favour deeper environments. Brooding Snake Stars tend to be very shy creatures, & will avoid interaction with humans.

In this article, we will discuss the life & discovery of the Brooding Snake Star, the Mating Tactics, Strategies, Cycles, Practices, Procedures, & Habits Of The Brooding Snake Star, The Distribution Of The Brooding Snake Star, & the Scientific Detailings of the Brooding Snake Star.

If you’d like to learn more about this peculiar serpentine creature, visit the link below or visit the website in our profile!

A tank with sunflower stars (marine creatures) Might be as many as 15. They are bunched together, overlapping each other. Color is variable from deep orange to more crimson.

Scientists needed a way to identify 1 radial creature from another among #sunflower stars. Imagine clock face on each star. Number the legs based on a DOT that each star has. Moving clockwise from DOT, first LEG from is 1, next is 2, and so on. #echinoderms #radial

7 rowboats rest on a dock with open water behind them. The boats are all different colors, including a red one. Beyond the dock is a point of land with trees.

Can marine species evolve in response to ocean acidification? 🌊🧬
We studied the sea urchin Arbacia lixula from a natural CO₂ vent (La Palma) using genome-wide SNPs.
Results reveal signals of local adaptation to acidified conditions.
