Starfish Behavior

Fascinating video on starfish social structure and behavior. Fascinating in part due to the distributed or decentralized nature of starfish nervous systems, unlike invertabretes like shrimp that have a brain or centralized nervous system but don't have a spinal cord.

This was quite a fascinating documentary. So many more unanswered questions, but it's interesting to see how the sea stars interact in their world...thanks for sharing.
