Sand on three islands south of Japan , on Iriomote , Hatoma , and Taketomi , all have tiny cream-coloured stars.

They're actually remnants of a species called Baclogypsina sphaerulata.

These organisms were first found in 1860 and called something completely different.

They belong to an ancient group of protozoans called Foraminifera .
