Time to open this up.
Here are some sea stars, have had a few trips among the rocks at low tides and have quite a few images. Rainbow Sea Star, Orthasterias koehleri, Six-rayed Sea Star, Leptasterias aequalis koehleri and Leather Star, Dermasterias imbricate.

So beautiful! I loved walking down in the tidal pools in NoCal to see all the wonderful sea life there including starfish.

Another three star fish, although two are the same but are different colors. The two are Ochre Star, Pisaster ochraceus, and then we have a Pacific Blood Star, Henricia leviuscula.

Beautiful photos, Kildale! I had no idea there were so many different kinds of sea stars. Looking forward to more photos!

Three more because of the huge demand, well one request. First is a Black and White Brittle Star, Amphipholis pugetana, then a Burrowing Sea Star, Amphiodia occidentalis, and a Daisy Brittle Star, Ophiopholis aculeate. One more next time and some other interesting things.
