Bloody Henry starfish
The Bloody Henry is applied to two very similar starfish, Henricia oculata and H sanguinolenta, difficult to distinguish in the field unless two specimens are examined side by side. The Henricia oculata species is the most common of the two, occurring along the Atlantic coasts of northwest Europe, where it inhabits a variety of substrata on open coasts; and around western and southern coastal areas of the UK.
Our seas and coastline are in need of protection if we are to keep our marine wildlife healthy. The Wildlife Trusts are working with fishermen, researchers, politicians and local people towards a vision of 'Living Seas', where marine wildlife thrives. This work has recently had a massive boost with the passing of the Marine Bill, promising sustainable development of the UK's marine environment. Do your bit for our Living Seas by supporting your local Wildlife Trust. You can also help by reporting your sightings to Devon Wildlife Trust or to the Devon Biodiversity Records Centre.
