ABHISHEK JAMALABADABHISHEK JAMALABADBRITTLE STAR - MARINE DRIVE
Like Mumbai’s nightlife, the watery doorstep of the city also comes alive after hours. Strange, fantastic creatures crawl out of their
hiding places as dusk falls on the city’s little-known rocky seashores. This brittle star, with its prickly snake-like arms, is just one of
hundreds of species found here.SEA WHIP - MARINE DRIVE
Like a tiny forest on a snowy night, the polyps on a sea whip (a kind of soft coral) receive a blizzard of food in the form of
drifting bits of organic debris. Fascinating creatures like these outline the deeper rocky outcrops of Mumbai’s shores, seemingly as
oblivious of the city as most of us are of them.
