We found this giant kelp holdfast washed up on the beach today.
Look closely, can you see anything?
There are brittle star tentacles. There were literally hundreds of brittle stars within this one clump of kelp. And I noticed an orange substance on my hands after I touched it. I'm pretty certain they were eggs. You can see them, orange in color, on the stems (stipes?) in the picture here. I'm not able to find anything conclusive about the looks of their eggs on Google for the time being. Do you know?
