They may look cute and colorful, but starfish are actually voracious predators. To sniff out and capture their prey, they rely on hundreds of water-propelled tube feet, each with a fiercely independent streak. Watch the new PBS Terra science show, OVERVIEW

Watching them walk is like seeing something from an Alien movie.
And not in a fascinating way. I'm saying they're horrifying. And not in a dignifying way. I mean that if I could choose to eradicate them without the fatal consequences of nature's suddenly imbalanced food chain, I would.

What do you mean they don t have a brain? not like yours, but if they did not have a brain they would be stone. all that stuff you described necessitates input and analysis of it, they react to multiple factors. listen, have some RESPECT HERE.
reply

Wait, so if starfish and the majority of its other cousins use the water around as a means to make their many feet move, then does that mean they cannot move if they're caught by low tide while on a rock?
reply

The humble starfish (Asterias Forbesii) does not have a regular migratory route. It does however, floop. Where 'flooping' is the action of large numbers of starfish travelling along a similar path.
reply

What they don't have is a brain. So, how do they figure out which way to go to find a meal? Well, they leave that up to their feet too.
Talk about thinking on your feet.

A sea creature that doesn't have a brain and solely exists to eat food off the ocean floor. So what you're telling me is that starfish are nature's roombas?
reply

Excellent video. I never thought I would see a starfish gallop
But what happens if two feet on opposite ends start pulling to follow a scent?

reply

The more I learn about the biology of all kinds of animals, especially those in the ocean, the more I realize how utterly bizzare life actually is.
reply

Phylum Echinodermata. my biology teacher shown the video for better understanding. me still remember every part of it. I love zoology
reply

For some reason, it's 3 am and I'm out here thinking. how tf do starfishes work? Now I can go back to sleep, thank you: )
reply

so. what happens if there were stinky mussels in opposing directions? Does the starfish split up? Is that how a star is born?
reply

But it has eyes at the tip of its arms which is that red dot thingy. Oh and the sieve plate is also called a madreporite.
reply

Starfish are kinda creepy lol, theyre mainly just arms/feet with minds (not literally since no brain) of their own!
reply

When scientists says that it's a Sea Star because it's not a fish, but we all know that it's a Star Fish: -)
reply

Why tf is this so complicated. This animal doesnt need to be this way. Its literally a star shaped fish.
reply

I appreciate that the mussel being offered is already dead. Death by sea star must be pretty terrible.
