Could you imagine having thousands of feet? With no brain or backbone, sea stars rely on a water vascular system and thousands of tiny tube feet to move, sense, feed, and cling tightly to rocks in the shifting intertidal zone. These sticky little feet are like hydraulic suction cups helping sea stars pry open prey like mussels and hold firm against crashing waves. The stars of this video are Ochre sea stars found along the Pacific coast of North America. They can be a deep purple colour to brigh

This is slow motion hunting in-action!! ⭐️ In the intertidal zone of the Pacific Northwest, you can often find beautiful and colourful ochre sea stars suction cupped to rocks with their strong tube feet. If they come across a delicious clump of mussels, they will wrap their bodies around the bivalve and use those thousands of strong feet to pry the two shells apart to devour the meat inside. How cool is that?! 🤩 #biodiversity #pacificnorthwest #beachcombing #tidepools #lowtide #naturalist #natu

😵‍💫😵‍💫 Repeat after us: Ochre stars (Pisaster ochraceus) are the superior intertidal inverts 😵‍💫😵‍💫 These mesmerizing larvae were part of a recent ochre star spawning event in Steinhart Aquarium. Rearing these sea stars is an important step in learning more about echinoderm genetics and reproduction techniques. | California Academy of Sciences

Check out this video of a sea star using its tube feet to "glide" across the seafloor. Seen during the Okeanos Explorer Our Deepwater Backyard: Exploring Atlantic Canyons and Seamounts 2014 expedition, while exploring Kelvin Seamount at a depth of ~2,050 meters (6,725 feet). Wild, huh? When exploring the deep using remotely operated vehicles, we often capture behaviors that we wouldn't otherwise get to observe. We made many interesting observations during this expedition; for images and videos,

Feather stars are part of phylum Echinodermata (along with sea urchins, sea stars, brittle stars and sea cucumbers) and the class Crinoidea (which only includes feather stars & sea lilies). These animals have a long history, first appearing in the fossil record about 300 million years before the dinosaurs during the Cambrian period! They use their feathery fringed arms to capture plankton and other little bits of food that drift by them. Like sea stars, feather stars can regrow their limbs if lo

Spark and Sprout on Instagram: "A king tide surprise! 🌊 We stumbled upon a vibrant community of ochre sea stars at Scripps Pier in La Jolla! As a keystone species, their return signals a healthy ecosystem. 🪸 In 2013, a sea star wasting syndrome outbreak led to a 99% decline along the southern California coast and Channel Islands. But now, they're back! As a keystone species, ochre sea stars maintain ecosystem balance. They eat mussels, preventing them from taking over, and allowing diverse pla
