Others munching on dead stars. So far it seems like it is not affecting other critters...

The sea stars at Langley are not going out without a fight.
Spawning. Hopefully the new generation will manage to colonize the harbor again.

Thanks Tom.

The beautiful Simpson's stars might be affected there too...

This is so cool, I've seen one or two babies on these snails before but not like this.
Are they two different species?
