    You'll find these in cold water on the west coast of the U.S. I used to dive in Monterey Bay, CA, and would run into these beautiful star fish all the time. We would just call them "Sun Stars" for short.
    Also, that crab is called a Decorator Crab. They put organic material on their back, like barnacles, seaweed, and other plant life to camouflage. You can find more extraordinary sea life in cold water vs warm water in my opinion.
