simmo Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Caught by a bloke at Little Manly. When on the land it could walk and curled its arms like an octopus. When released it swam off like a squid or occy. Felt the same as a normal star. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
