So anyway, Starfish have tiny velociraptor faces growing out of their skin. I feel like we as a society don't talk about this enough.

Green sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) and Common whelk (Buccinum undatum)

This is a great photo for seeing the pedicellariae of the sea urchin, as well as the whelk’s siphon and colorful foot.
