After a bit of reading, I learned that Starfish are not actually a fish at all, but are animals belonging to the Phylum Echinodermata, and are further divided into two classes Asteroidea (sea stars) and Ophiuroidea (brittle stars). Starfish eat mollusks and other echinoderms. These guys are probably "Brown Stars" , though I am certainly no expert on the subject!
There was a wonderful tide pool as the tide went out on the Sanibel beach one morning, that enabled me to have this little peek into their world.
