A feather star

A feather star

Cape Zanpa is the most mysterious point in Okinawa I.
It's a complete open sea point and has very strong current.
Once I and my wife encountered a huge school of fish.
It filled our sight at 30m visibility water and moved fast just like we were on a roller coaster for more than several minutes without a
break.We've never seen such a huge one.
On the other hand,there are various beautiful creatures for macro
photography.But, you must note that you always pay attention to your upward,or you would lose a big one !
This is the most elegant feather star that I've ever seen.
