Amanda Clark was on a beach bounty tour today and came across a sea star. It was stiff, so everyone thought it was dead. A family from England was going to take it home. Fortunately, the family left the sea star at the nature center by accident. I came across it, picked it up and wasn't sure if it was dead or not because part was stiff and part wasn't. Amanda said she hadn't seen its tube feet move, but suggested putting it in the tank to make sure. Well, sure enough, it was alive! It's feet started to slowly move. We were so happy for the sea star....until the stone crab in the tank grabbed it! 
Luckily Amanda saw it in time and took it from the crab. The sea star was so appreciative that it would not let go of Amanda!
We moved the crab to another tank so hopefully the sea star will be able to live peacefully at the nature center now. We think the sea star got caught on land and was cold-stunned when they found it.
