Yeah, so this is uh a sea star. I'm uh hoping Chris Mah is on
the is on the chat or on the line here. This is uh not one
that I recognize. Christopher Mah says, this is an Ampheraster.
Hey, Rhian. Oh, hey, Chris. How are you? Good morning. So,
this is a uh pedestal asteroid. This is actually kind of
interesting because some of the fossils for the animals that
are like this occur from the Jurassic and so I'm I'm really
happy to sort of just see more of them. I'm I'm grateful for
you guys to stop and look at it. Yeah, I think there's
actually another one coming up here, Chris as well. I think
this is a sea star in a feeding position so it's got the big
bulge in the middle. It's kinda hunched over something. Oh,
neat. Okay. Yeah. So, this demonstrates one of the things
that I love about the program is that we can actually make
observations of these species doing what they do in the wild.
You know, these in situ observations of feeding and
other biology, you know, and and so there are fundamental
gaps in our knowledge. So, even something relatively simple
like feeding like this is food for the gods for me.
