I believe this is Henricia multispina, but it's not in the iNat database and I can't add it until the City Nature challenge is over.

I went to Mendocino Headlands to try to document sea stars. I took pictures of every sea star, most of which were bat Stars. My goal was to cover the area as thoroughly as I could.

Drift, attached to bivalve shell, next for Saccharina latissima (blue arrow shows N. luetkeana).
Second photo shows close-up the two holdfasts. Both highly-branched and “root-like”, but N. luetkeana holdfast on right has fewer, thicker, branched (this branched kind of holdfast in kelps is called a “haptera”).

It seems there is word out there that the NE Pacific Solaster paxillatus is a separate, undescribed species. Placing it as such (9 arms that taper abruptly, not puffy in armpits), until / if ever / such species is described. That way if that happens it will be easy to bring the whole group into the new taxon.

I love baby reds! This time of year they seem to be everywhere. At Mukilteo especially, I look extra closely at empty clam shells. This little guy was only an inch or so long.
