The Pacific blood star is among one the many unique starfish in the ocean.
These starfish don′t have many predators, meaning there are many of them alive in the ocean today, and the only predators these creatures have are humans and birds who swoop them up.
Most of these starfish will stay close to the ocean floor, away from predators at the ocean′s surface. Pacific blood stars can be found as far down as 1,300 feet.
You can spot one of these starfish by its bright orange or red color. However, some of these starfish types can look purple in the right lighting. Typically, these starfish will have anywhere from four to six arms.
