    well, I'm not really sure what it is. It looks kind of like a star fish but it doesn't really look like an asterinia starfish (sp?)

    any ID or anything would be apreciated

    It's a brownish orange with white specks, and it all goes out from the middle where there is a dark spot, not sure if it's a mouth?

    get a better pic of it with more of it showing cuz it looks like it might be a sponge from that angle or some sort of star fish

    Do you mean the tubular looking thing with the feathers coming out of it or the snail shell looking thing at the bottom of the rock, just above the sand?

    No, look on the bottom of the feather duster. There is a starfish there. I can't tell what it is from the picture though as not much is actually showing :(

    well it wasn't there when I looked before but now it's there, it has moved a little but it seems like it's moving really slow.
