I take it that it was a good Pinot noir?

this clearly indicates common ancestry with that coastal starfish (the name of which eludes me at present) which traps triplefins & shrimps underneath itself by tempting them to swim into what appears to be a nice safe cavern

Jean, Thanks for the picture, I have never seen or heard of these and it look exceptionally interesting - for a species only tank

Your side of the world has the most interesting and aggressive creatures!

We keep them in a community tank! Ok mainly small filter feeding anemones, but a few crabs, & snails etc too. It takes them a good week to deal with a prey item. It took the one in the picture about 6 days to finish that snail.

Is it not Stegnaster; I cannot imagine this being an Allostichaster Jean?

I'm sure you're right, I just used the name in my echinoderm book!!!!!! But it's a bit out of date.......so Stegnaster it is!

OK all; here's the air date, 9pm 31 August, at the following link (you'll see a couple of squid docos on this day).

Enjoy (because you'll see it before we ever do!)

 

[OB]

Great.... I guess.... Please, tell me what it's like, I haven't a clue whether it'll air in the NL and when....
