- Delves deep beneath the cold waters of the North Pacific for an exploration of a reef community that is as complex and spectacular as a tropical coral reef. Instead of hard corals, these cold water reefs are covered with anemones, coral-like algae and starfish. Profiles the behaviors of many species in this strange environment. Included are wolf eels who crush and swallow spiny sea urchins, and fridgehead fish whose mouths are half as wide as their bodies are long. Stunning time-lapse photography shows that starfish dance and fight with fascinating personality (Closed-Captioned).
