They use their hoods to scoop in water...

...then slowly squeeze out all

but the food.

The hairy arms of feather stars are great

for combing out food.

But in a pinch...

...they're even better

for escaping from marauders.

The marauder is a sun star...

...and it will eat a feather star

if it can catch one.

But it much prefers to dine

on juicy shellfish...

...especially sea scallops.

Did that one bite back?

What an intriguing landscape.

It's home to one of the oddest relationships

ever between a predator and its prey.

It's actually a forest of animals

known as tube anemones.

They protect themselves with stinging cells

hidden in their tentacles.

But there's a predator

who covets those stingers.

It's a rainbow nudibranch.

And he's a thief.

He eats tube anemone tentacles.

But he doesn't digest the stinging cells.

Instead, he'll pass them on

into the feathery gills on his back...

...where they continue to live.

So now the stolen stingers protect him.

The sun star is back...

...and he'll devour a nudibranch,

stolen venom and all.

But like any good thief...

...the nudibranch has a getaway plan.

The Irish lord.

He can hide from his enemies

and his prey.

It's not so easy for the crab to hide.

But he has great defenses:

Sharp pincers and a rock-hard shell.

The Irish lord may have bitten off

more than he can chew.

Before he can swallow his dinner...

...the crab will have to release

that death grip on his upper lip.

And now, a rare close-up look...

...at the domestic life

of the California mantis shrimp.

He's only 10 inches long...

...but he's much stronger than he looks.

He's gathering mussels for dinner.

He's got incredibly powerful claws.

In fact, those claws are as fast

as a 22-caliber bullet.

That makes him the most powerful animal,

for his size, in the world.

He's using his claw like a hammer

to smash open the mussel.

Now he's off to grab some more.

Here comes trouble.

He won't be safe in his burrow.

If he's cornered there...

...the octopus can inject a poison

that will kill him.

Something tells me he won't go down

without a fight.

His display is a warning:

"Don't mess with me."

If the octopus still doesn't get

the message...

...maybe a shot to the chops

will set him straight.

A thousand miles north,

in the frigid waters of British Columbia...

...lives an octopus

that is truly a sea monster.

The giant Pacific octopus.

This one weighs about 50 pounds...

...but he may grow up

to weigh more than 200...

...with tentacles that could stretch

more than 20 feet across.

He's a master of disguise.

As he moves, he changes both

his color and texture...

...to match his surroundings.
