Feather Sea Star - Search Videos

A feather star takes flight into abyssal skies, with flapping arms like so many wings to soar through the eternal darkness of the deep sea. 🌊🎃 Feather stars—also known as crinoids—are related to sea stars, sea cucumbers and sea urchins as proud echinoderms. Oriented like a starfish lying on its back, a crinoid's mouth points upward, ready to received morsels of food caught by its many feather-like arms and passed down by a bucket-brigade of tiny hairs. Usually, crinoids are found on the seaflo

Have you ever seen a deep-sea feather star swim? Crinoids, commonly known as feather stars, are relatives to the sea star. Unlike most sea stars, they feed by holding their arms out into the water current, catching food by branches, called pinnules, on their arms. Then they move the food to their mouth in the center. Here the feather star is using its feathery arms, to swim upwards. Hanging below its arms are appendages known as cirri that help the feather star cling to rocks, sponges, and coral

Feather stars are a type of marine invertebrate with featherlike arms that radiate from a central body. Researchers say the creatures’ origins date back about 200 million years: Feather stars are thought of as ‘living fossils.’ They have a tremendous diversity that traces its roots deep down in the geological past. This footage was from our #BackyardDeep expedition off the California coast. Not all feather stars can swim. Many species are only able to crawl along the bottom. There are a few theo

🌊✨ “Dance of the Feather Star” ✨🌊 The Feather Star is a stunning ocean creature known for its long, feathery arms that resemble underwater fireworks. Though it looks like a delicate flower, it's actually related to starfish and sea urchins. Its arms are lined with tiny structures that capture drifting food, and instead of swimming like fish, it glides and twirls gracefully through the water. Some cling to corals while others drift freely, creating a mesmerizing, dance-like motion. Ancient, ele

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

Long thought to be extinct, feather stars still drift through BC’s waters—swimming like ferns in flight. Sometimes called sea lilies, they may look like plants, but they’re not. These are animals—echinoderms—closely related to sea stars and urchins. Feather stars feed by filtering plankton with their delicate, feathery arms, which can stretch up to 25 centimetres. They aren’t stuck in place either. Using tiny claw-like appendages called cirri, they can crawl along the seafloor—or swim by rhythmi
