Size of a dinner plate
One arm seemed a bit sluggish in movement. Signs of multiple arm regeneration.
There were 40 to 60 dead Ochre stars and a Bat star on the beach and in tidal pools at low tide at 2:30 p.m. There were also about 30 dead Purple Urchins seen on the beach or in pools. The number of dead mussels was huge. I can not estimate how many but well in the 100s.

Maybe two inches across?
