Bat stars
Colourful bat stars (Patiria miniata) at low tide sit on a barnacle-covered rock, Burnaby Narrows, Gwaii Haanas, Haida Gwaii, BC. This was the most dense collection of bat stars that I saw at Burnaby Narrows, a location famous for its large numbers of bat stars before star fish wasting disease substantially reduced their numbers.
