Photo Hunters : Five
Ooops in my busy schedule, I almost forgot about posting for Photo Hunters. This weeks theme is a little difficult especially when I am trying to keep to an underwater theme but let me see…….
Hah! After many 3’s or 4’s or 6s’, I managed to find something relevant and also very appropriate:
A STAR FISH / SEA STAR
Starfish may well be the most unusual well-known creature. They have no front or back: they can move in any direction without turning. Rather than using muscles to move their hundreds of tiny legs, starfish use a complex hydraulic system to move around or cling to rocks. The intake valve for this system is generally located on the top of the Starfish, just off center.
A good read about Starfish from Wikipaedia
and then
FIVE HINGEBEAK SHRIMPS
Hinge-beaked shrimps have bright, conspicuous colour patterns, which vary between species, and a rostrum that is capable of being moved up or down. Some species live in the protection of the long spines of sea urchins but most live independently, gathering in dark coral caves by day and becoming active at night.
Enjoy
