On other sites, #NOAA uses #MarineLifeMonday to share the #undersea wonders of their #NationalMarineSanctuaries, but it's a great opportunity to more broadly celebrate #oceanic life past and present and I'm hoping it catches on here! With that in mind, please appreciate this leather star (Dermasterias imbricata), an important #predator of other #intertidal #invertebrates along the West Coast. This one was spotted at a very low tide in Washington's #SanJuanIslands.
