Makin urchin gainz 💪🌻⭐️ We apologize that it’s taken us 4 years to release a training video montage of our sunflower stars eating urchins set to David Bowie’s Heroes - how this oversight made it past our communications department remains a mystery. Sunflower stars are keystone predators in nearshore marine environments, eating and scaring prey (including purple urchins) and reducing grazing pressure on kelp forest ecosystems.

Spooky hour at SSL in the urchin graveyard 💀👻 Sunflower stars are keystone predators in kelp forest ecosystems, eating and scaring purple urchins and other grazers to keep kelp communities in balance. Larger juvenile sunflower stars at the lab often eat multiple urchins in a day, leaving behind a haunting trail of urchin tests (skeletons) and other shells in their tank #conservation #aquaculture #pycnopodia #sunflowerstar | Sunflower Star Laboratory

This could be you 👀 When you head to California’s tide pools this month, you’ll find sea slugs, urchins, crabs—and maybe even a critically endangered sunflower sea star. Our community science team found two juveniles in Humboldt County this summer, but the California Coast is teeming with creatures waiting to be seen & photographed. Join the Solstice Sea Star Search now through Dec. 31 and add observations of ALL sea stars to the iNaturalist app. Visit bit.ly/SeaStar25 for more information. | C

Have you seen my latest full video yet? We met some amazing creatures - Sunflower Sea Stars - that perform a vital job balancing the ocean ecosystem on the Pacific Coast. Sadly, they’ve been almost wiped out by a vicious disease, and as a result, sea urchin populations have spiked (get it?), causing widespread destruction of kelp forests - the precious nurseries of the ocean. The Sunflower Star Laboratory is doing amazing work breeding Sunflower Sea Stars, researching Sea Star Wasting Disease, a

Sea cheetah strikes again 🌊🐆 Sunflower stars are the speedsters of the echinoderm world, capable of crawling over a meter a minute in search of terrified prey. Any urchin dropped in Titan’s tank is an empty shell walking, as our largest juvenile sunflower star will quickly overtake it and munch away. The ability of sunflower stars to both eat urchins and scare them into hiding underpins their role as keystone kelp forest predators. Learn more about @sunflowerstarlab’s work to restore the sunfl
