Congrats, what a beautiful piece. Nice work!

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

It looks as if you took a brittlestar off the beach and laid it over a slab of rock. Very drool worthy!

Thank you very much everyone! - I hoped it might get a few votes but I'm a bit stunned to actually win :). I'd have happily taken home any of the other entries.

Ramo - many thanks, I took a few photos so I'll do a prep post soon.

Thanks again for the very kind comments!

Beautiful specimen. It looks like it could crawl over next door at any moment. Congratulations.

How that is positioned naturally, is just so perfect. Brilliant find!
