The thing I really I love and enjoyed at Burot Beach Calatagan Batangas were the starfishes. They were so cute and plenty. Yes, really plenty you can see them anywhere in turquoise waters of the beach.
It was so fun to collect them as you get in and out the water and put them all together. It was so so cute. I guess we got 20 of them. Don't worry, beach guard will not refrain you from doing that, just be sure not to take those at home.
Starfishes has 5 rays with small circular black protuberance on it. It has also a crown-like projections at the center of their body. As I look on them, it has different sizes some were bigger than others. But the thing I notice was that the bigger the starfish is, the brighter orange it has.
Up close you will see it's ray's skin margins more of a mermaid than a fish. It feels rough but not sharp to touch. It's body and rays were kinda hard but becomes a little softer to its end it tend to twirl eventually. It has no odor because it is still alive, just smell of sea water. Others say that if you want to make it as a house display, you have kill it by taking it out from the water and dry it under the sun. Then the stinky fishy odor comes out.
How will you know if it's really alive? Well aside from it has soft feeling on its endings upon lifting them out, sometimes you can see their rays twirled around under water. If you inspect them and reverse on its bottom side, you will see what they called starfish's tube foot. They were like pinkish-red tubes slowly coming out from the grooves of its rays.
This creature really made my beach experience different and I know you also want to try it out!
