(Oregon Coast) – There s nothing more surreal sometimes than those critters from the sea. And this one from the Oregon coast gets serious about that. Tidepools along the Oregon / Washington coast and their colorful, wildly divergent denizens can be mind-blowing when you look at them up close. These creatures are stunning and intricate, with the starfish (sea star) an ever-favorite. (Photo above courtesy Seaside Aquarium)
However, one kind of sea star you ll never get to see outside of an aquarium is in these waters - and it s a weird one, with scraggly, tree-like branches wandering off in a myriad of directions. There s a stark, alien beauty about this creature.

A 45-kilogram tropical fish washed up on an Oregon beach.
Experts said the fish was found far from its natural habitat, making it a surprising find.
The opah, or moonfish, will be studied as little is known about the species.
The aquarium said the fish, found on Sunset Beach in Seaside, was rare to the Oregon Coast.
Tiffany Boothe, the aquarium s assistant manager, told The Washington Post that it was the first opah she had seen in beaches in the area.
