ok weird shit going on here.

1. First time round i could only see the first pic, hence the dunno.

2. after posting I couldnt edit my reply but saw all the pics.

3. Actual answer: Its definitely an Astropecten sp. possibly A. vappa though Im not sure if that species is found where you took the pic.

4. Still cant edit or delete my posts?

5. finally worked it out... stoopid HTML code... stoopid embedding it in the original post.... *deep breath*

ps I'm forced to ask (thanks Jim) Sara: are you turned on now?
I dunno why you would be... I mean, it aint no hippo... but...
