While beach combing during a low tide somewhere between Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida we came across a handful of PURPLE starfish that had washed ashore. A royal find!

How unusual . . . I didn’t know there were purple starfish.

These are unusual; even google images didn’t bring these up.

When I first laid eyes on them I wondered if someone was punking beach goers. Glad you enjoyed!

Nature is filled with surprises isn’t she? I must admit the arrangement was another one of those happy accidents; dh had been collecting them in a cup and this is how they came out of it when he turned the cup upside down!

Those are so cool. Until Steven posted some earlier this year, I didn’t know they existed. Were they still alive? Did they make it back to the water?

Unfortunately by the time we came across them they had been out of water for so long that they weren’t alive.

Pretty cool! Ours don’t have the outline colors like yours do. I wonder what that evolutionary design is for?

Your guess about the evolution is most likely better than mine. They are so different than the species on the west coast.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoying the purple starfish. Only 2 days earlier did I ever see a common gray color starfish. Guess that last noreaster churned up loads of new things to see for beach combers.
