Ochre Sea Star Showing Size
Ochre Sea Stars weren't that common. They are quite a bit larger than the bat stars.

Stars on Rock

I think the star on the right is a Leather Star. The closest
star is a Troschel's Sea Star. The feathery thing is probably a sea cucumber, but with two predators near by, it may not be there long.

I wonder where that leg went. Pycnopodia helianthoides - 18 legs seems to be common for the Sunflower Stars I've seen.
