Modern videography provides an ever-widening window into subsea
echinoderm life with vast potential for new knowledge. Supported by
video evidence throughout, this Element begins with time-lapse
video made in 1983 on film, using an off-the-shelf camera, flash,
and underwater housings. Although quality has now been
significantly improved by digital imagery, films from over thirty
years ago captured crinoid feeding behavior previously unknown and
demonstrated a great potential to learn about many other aspects of
their biology. This sequence is followed by several examples of
recent digital videography from submersibles of deep-sea crinoids
and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) (stalked and unstalked), as
well as close-up video of crinoids in aquaria. These recent studies
enabled a new classification of crinoid arm postures, provided
detailed views of food particle capture, and revealed a wide range
of behaviors in taxa never before seen in life.
