I made this time lapse. It was filmed outside on rocks that created something like tidal pools. Mostly just rocks covered in seaweed, barnacles, snails and other critters. Its difficult to see that the orange sea star comes about half out of water in its shot, and then goes back under again. I used a polarizer to cut glare off the water. I'm also surprised that the lighting came out so well, but it was a clear blue sky that day, so the light was steady, giving the appearance of indoor lighting. Not done in an aquarium though! Hi.

Not exactly current-filled. But to me it looks like these starfish arent underwater at all, at least near the end. The main place I've found starfish is tide pools. Not exactly current-filled.

So then why isn't any of the vegetation moving with the currents? So my question is this: these were filmed underwater, yes? So then why isn't any of the vegetation moving with the currents?

It's almost as if each arm is a millipede, but the millipede legs end in suction cups. The overall effect of their locomotion is a gliding movement. Here's a good YouTube look at the tube feet underneath: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4IRF-pKVtuU Brittle stars, skinnier starfish relatives, do move more by walking with their legs.
