Starfish Ecological Communities

An orange starfish and orange anemone. Caption: the battle and the anemone rises to defend itself.

Part of "The Living Oceans" series. Captures the lives of sea stars that inhabit sea star gardens on the ocean bottom. Slow-motion photography reveals that predatory sea stars are actually social creatures that respond to one another's touch and prefer to hunt together. Illustrates animal defenses, such as camouflage in the octopus, and shows of aggression in the sarcastic fringehead.
