Squat lobsters hide in the forest of feather seastars on the Oregon Offshore mooring platform at 200m. Translucent, scallop shaped mollusks are abundant, as are the seastars. Small red-plumed worms, feather dusters, also call this home. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI; J2-1514, V23.

The Offshore Mooring is a beautiful island hosting pink sea urchins, light orange anemones, white glass sponges (right), 5-legged brittle stars, feather seastars, amazing nudibranchs and corals (far left), corabranching hydroids with pink nudibranch egg clusters, and a swarm of krill.
