Hello Friends, while my son was snorkeling he came across a lot of these little creatures.
I did take a few quick pictures before he put it back in the ocean.
I think they are Philippine starfish. I have never
seen these before but the Caymans do
have a lot of starfish.
Personally, I wouldn\’t have touched it. It looks a little scary to me not to mention you shouldn\’t touch anything under the sea~So next time young son… just look…don\’t touch…and no, we are not taking it home for a pet!
xxoo

I think I would put that thing on my arm for a few seconds if it meant I could be wherever he is! It looks beautiful! I bet he is having a lot of fun.
