Starfish rule huge undersea mountain chain


Starfish rule huge undersea mountain chain - CNN.com: "Marine scientists surveying a large undersea mountain chain were amazed to find millions of tiny starfish swirling their arms to capture food in the undersea current.

The starfish live on an undersea mountain chain, swirling their arms to capture food.

An expedition by 19 scientists studied the geology and biology of eight Macquarie Ridge sea mounts. They are part of a string of underwater volcanoes -- dormant for millions of years -- that stretches 1,400 kilometers (875 miles) from south of New Zealand toward Antarctica."
