This photo already appeared on theoutershores in Quick, What’s This Worm? with the caption you see above. At the time, I thought it was fine, but Jarm hit a home run with,

ā€œI’m going to eat you!ā€ said the seastar to barnacle.

What better caption for this intimate and somewhat absurd predator-prey scene? This week’s photo challenge is the perfect place to showcase Jarm’s creativity and sense of humor.
