Rare Comet Starfish Sighted Falling Onto Reef!

12/5/2011

0 Comments

 
The morning of Sunday, November 27th, 2011 Helene Hess of Las Terrazas Resort on San Pedro was diving at Mata Canyon when she spotted a falling comet starfish!  She states that while diving they observed this starfish falling from above and then watched it settle on coral around 65 feet. She believes it may have been dropped by a bird since it was sighted falling through the water.  A very exciting sighting for our Reef Rally as these are rarely sighted in Belize!
