Off the top of my head I cannot tell you how many legs seastars can have. Wikipedia says they normally have five but can have more or less. I have seen sea stars with as many as 12 or more legs. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish Ken

Beautiful Pictures! Can you please provide information on Sea Stars. Which sea star has the most legs? Whats its name? How many?

Gosh, we rescued a skate egg case on the beach near Neskowin Oregon and the Aquarium at Newport was happy to receive the two embryos in a special nursery tank. It was great to have a look at your photos...Peters in Oregon.

Ken, Great pictures. My boyfriend and I were in Montego Bay Jamaica. Can there be Moray Eels there? My boyfriend claims he saw one while snorkelling and apparently it opened its mouth at him. I have seen the Moray's in your album and I almost find it hard to believe that this is what he saw. Could he be right? Are there different kinds of Moray Eels, or are they all spotted??

I'm painting a coral reef mural on my daughter's wall and I needed some photos for ideas, that's how I happened upon your web site. Which is fantastic! So I just wanted to thank you for the fabulous pictures you've taken. I look forward to painting them on her wall.

Jodie		14-Mar-2004 06:30
Stunning! When words aren't enough... come to this site.

Sandy From your description it could be a Honeycomb Maray eel. See the photos I have on this album of these. Although all Moray eels have nasty teeth luckily they are not very agressive and will only bother you if you botgher them.

Dear Ken, I saw a black & yellow serpant sinously moving near the surf off of Manzanillo in Mexico. Is it dangerous? Is it agressive. Whatis it's name. The closest to it I have found so far is the tiger snake eel, but it seems less yellow and spotted as opposed to stripes. I'm handicapped and just wade in; I need to know as I am not protected in any way even to the point of scuba diving and seeing underwater. SandyZ

Thank you Renee, glad you enjoyed them. This type of photography is quite difficult so I am only able to add a few at a time. Luckilly I am back to shooting at the Aquarium at least once a week so check back often. Ken Leonard

Renee		15-Nov-2003 08:01
Your underwater photography is simply beautiful. I truly enjoyed seeing your website, and hope you'll have more one day. Thank you. RCS
