April 13, 2021: Sea Star Feeding
One of many sightings during a Deep-Sea Symphony: Exploring the Musicians Seamounts dive of a sea star feeding on coral. Here you can see a Calliaster sp. sea star's tube feet feeding on bamboo coral. The dive took place at the “Tropic of Cancer” seamount, located about 90 nautical miles north of Oahu, Hawaii.
