bencardoen, That red-purple mass between the rocks is a colony of starfish having a snooze in the sun (I'm assuming, there was zero movement, I'm guessing they're waiting for the tide). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisaster_ochraceus

I didn't go too close, but a rough estimate would say 30-50 of them, at first sight (partly out of frame). No idea how many submerged.
