"The sand in Okinawa, Japan contains thousands of tiny "stars". These "grains of sand" are actually exoskeletons of marine protozoa, which lived on the ocean floor 550 million years ago.
A 1mm star!
On the beaches of Okinawa in Japan, the sand is mostly made up of foraminifera, a one-celled organism that feeds on the minerals found in sea salt.
You just have to take a handful of sand and look at it with a magnifying glass to realise that the grains are pretty little stars.
The same goes for Bermuda, where they also take on a pinkish colour due to algae.
These little stars are neither animals nor plants, and have been present on earth for 500 million years. These are not true starfish in the literal sense of the word, but protozoa, a mineral shell that can take many forms depending on the species, including a star. Their size generally varies from 38 mm to 1 mm."

'As Ian Buruma observed:
News of the amazing explosion of the atom bomb attacks on Japan was deliberately withheld from the Japanese public by US military censors during the Allied occupationβeven as they sought to teach the natives the virtues of a free press. Casualty statistics were suppressed. Film shot by Japanese cameramen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombings was confiscated. "Hiroshima", the account written by John Hersey for The New Yorker, had a huge impact in the US, but was banned in Japan. As [John] Dower says: "In the localities themselves, suffering was compounded not merely by the unprecedented nature of the catastrophe ... but also by the fact that public struggle with this traumatic experience was not permitted' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshima
