loody Henry starfish, Porthkerris, Cornwall. In certain areas of the coast predatory starfish have decimated local mussel beds. The bloody henry starfish is less predatory than other Uk species. Bloody henry starfish are one of the few starfish species to brood their eggs. The female deposits her eggs, wrapped in a sticky mucus, onto the seabed and then guards them with her raised body. The larvae remain in this Mum-made shelter after hatching. I was drawn to the amazing texture and pattern on the surface of this vivid coloured starfish, becoming a beautiful abstract image that was almost lansdcape like.
