The baby starfish chasing the baby snail is the cutest predation vid ever...!!!

And kinda awkward because these poor baby barnicles and sea snails are gonna die young. They only got to live hours, days, weeks, or even months; and now they just died.

@@sorincioara7861Yeah, I agree. They both looked cute, but there was nothing cute about what happened…..😢😢😢

Its amazing how starfish look innocent and harmless enough, but once you see them slowly, but aggressively pursuing a source of food, all of a sudden they're pretty scary.

[@KQEDDeepLook]

Yup!

[@shardinalwind7696]

[@KlaunFuhrer-du7fr]

Nothing compared how snails hunt and eat other snails... i wont even say alive... it is self understanding.

[@quitlife9279]

It's even more worse seeing them eating a crab, they literally melt the crab into a soft blob all the while the crab is still alive. You'll never see them as innocent and harmless ever again. they're the most terrifying predator on the beach or even the planet, and it doesn't even have a face. Just a bunch of murderous tentacles.

Oh, these are adorable, like tiny crocheted doilies! Thank you all so much for your meticulous and charming work. I once wrote a starfish poem - seems like the right gift for you. Le Poisson (Etoile) d’Avril An unwary periwinkle wandered along a tidepool’s edge as the dark of evening fell. A thousand stars began to sparkle round the crescent of the moon; before him, all the sky reflected in the mirror of the water. Suddenly, one star moved toward him and as he watched, bemused, it took him gently in its arms. --MC 4/2019

I love how they walk with tiny little poles on their arms instead of actually using the arms

[@shroomyesc]

As do most of their cousins like urchins or sand dollars but then brittle stars said screw that and actually "leap" and swim with their four arms while leading with one as if it were a head. They can even grab prey from above them in the water with those arms, much more active predators.

[@LazyTallGuy]

Kinda reminds me of a pin cushion 😅and cute too

[@Skeptical_Numbat]

It's fascinating to learn that these guys *(Echinoderms)* are actually distantly related to us... Just like us, they start off life being _Bilaterally Symmetrical_ (where the left & right sides are mirror images of each other) before starting to grow their head section into a new, _Radially Symmetrical_ (where all body parts radiate out from a central point) body, before reabsorbing their original hind sections. Because they have a rudimentary *Notochord* during the _Bilaterally Symmetrical_ stage of their lives, they are classed as members of the *Phylum Chordata* (just like we are). Most *Echinoderms* do this early in their lives, while they're still free-swimming plankton. That this Six-Armed Starfish broods them underneath their body is downright unique - even for such a weird organism.

[@rustyshackleford9888]

You're confusing echinoderms for tunicates with some of those facts it seems. Tunicates (e.g., sea squirts, salps, etc.) are invertebrate chordates belonging to the phylum Chordata just like us vertebrates, and the notochord is one of the synapomorphies (shared traits based on ancestry) that define this group. Echinoderms do not have notochords at any stage during their development, nor did they evolve from any animals that had notochords. They belong to their own phylum, Echinodermata. However, echinoderms and chordates DO both belong to the same superphylum, Deuterostomia, and each is more closely related to each other than either is to any other non-deuterostome animal. Deuterostomes are united by genetic evidence and by similarities during early stages of embryological development. For example, all bilaterians develop a through-gut (two openings connected by a tube-food goes in one hole, waste goes out another). In deuterostomes, the hole that develops first in the embryo is destined to become the anus. In all other bilaterians (i.e., the protostomes), the first hole to develop will eventually become the mouth.

[@asterixky]

Do sea stars have predators? I have seen entire sea floors covered with sea stars. I once saw one I brought up to dry over night being eaten by a seagull at the morning. A very thick 16" sea star that the seagull grabbed by the center, and as the sea star went down the hatch, its legs folded outward naturally for the seagull to be able to finish it.

[@cumiebaka]

good question, I always thought they were easy prey due to how slow and useless they are.

[@shroomyesc]

Sea stars are plentiful in the oceans but they do have lots of predators, but they also have many ways to defend themselves. Most can "harden" at will so that if they crawl into a crevice they're "stuck" in there and can't be dragged out or have defensive spikes and such. The Crown of thorns starfish is notorisously hardy, has huge toxic/venomous spines, and are huge themselves and mostly devoid of predators, however if you search on youtube for "How a Crown-of-Thorns starfish reacts to the smell of a Giant Triton" you'll see that even they have hardwired instincts to get out of dodge when they smell giant sea snails.
