Special mission mediterranean Spiny Lobster

It is late August and Summer is the period in which many marine organisms prepare for procreation. We have therefore decided to reach a deep Mediterranean coral reef, over 7 miles from the coast. The procreation have pushed these crustaceans to gather at the same time and in the same place. Procreation, in fact, occurs at the end of the Summer and in the Winter the larvae are born, which immediately reach the seabed that will host them for the rest of their lives.

Stella marina variabile

Coscinasterias tenuispina, Variable starfish or Spiny starfish is an echinoderm very common in the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the most common starfish in the "Mare nostrum" and I would also say one of the most fascinating. Usually Echinoderms (sea urchins and starfish) have a pentaray symmetry...

Spotted Eagle Ray

The Spotted Eagle Ray, (Aetobatus narinari), is a cartilagionus fish of the eagle ray family, Myliobatidae. As traditionally recognized, it is found globally in tropical regions, including the Atlantic, pacific and Indian Oceans. Spotted eagle rays are most commonly seen alone, but occasionally swim in groups. They are ovoviviparous, the female retaining the eggs then releasing the young as miniature versions of the parent. This ray can be identified by its dark dorsal surface covered in white spots or rings.

Horned Sea Star

They are sometimes seen in the marine aquarium trade or dried and sold as curios. The sea stars are usually colored in shades of red or brown, but can be light tan, the color of cookie dough. This appearance, combined with the small horns on its dorsal side, give the sea star a look similar to that of a bumpy cookie.
