Brittle Star (or "that octopus starfish thingy" 😂)
The ultimate escape artist!
If a predator grabs a brittle star by an arm, it simply lets the arm fall off and makes a quick getaway and grows a new one later!
They spend most daylight hours tucked safely away, then creep out after dark to scavenge, filter-feed, and hunt tiny morsels.
They're the Mediterranean's tiny night-shift cleaners.

Hanging out at Fish Rock yesterday afternoon with our fabulous first timers, and we were treated to a fly by from a monk seal. 😵‍💫
Not the best video as we were sooo caught off guard and the fish kept stealing the focus but as they say, if you don't have the proof, then you never saw it. 😁

Today's fly by! ❤
