Sunflower star wallpaper
Sunflower sea stars: sentinels of the seabed
The magnificent sunflower sea star can have up to 24 arms and soft skin in vibrant hues ranging from purple to yellow. Once abundant along the West Coast, its populations collapsed after a devastating disease outbreak in 2013. Today, scientists and conservationists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and beyond are working together with cutting-edge research to help save this spectacular species from extinction. Enjoy this lovely sunflower sea star wallpaper and imagine how this wondrous ocean life may thrive in the near future.
