Star fish in English. Hitode (Man hand) in Japanese. An interesting difference in perception. When you see so many of them in a group like this, star fish sounds better IMO. Thank you for sharing your findings at Laguna Beach, Tammy. This is really awesome! Congrats on EFP!! #5390066Tammy Espino January 25, 2008
Thank you Alex :) I have never found one on the beach, but have seen some live at sea world. They are beautiful aren't they? :) #5391945Robert R. Goodman January 30, 2008
