Taiwan 2024 - Northeast Coast, Brittle Stars

This was, to me, an astonishing find.  When DeQuan said he saw a brittle star I flat didn't believe him until seeing it with my own eyes.  Aren't brittle stars found way deep in the ocean, living off what drifts down from above?  These amazing starfish must be incredibly adaptable.  And they were fairly ubiquitous, seen wherever the water was deep enough during low tide.  This I will count among our most memorable wildlife finds anywhere.
