A peppermint sea star in soft coral near the Seychelles

This colorful marine creature is found in soft coral beds throughout the Indian Ocean and South Pacific. It’s usually called a tile sea star or necklace sea star. These names refer to the pattern and color of the sea star’s skin—which isn’t always red and white. But some divers who’ve spotted the red and white specimens can’t resist calling them peppermint sea stars. We’re pretty sure they do not taste like candy canes.
