Starfish: Stars of the Sea

Starfish, or sea stars, are some of the most captivating creatures of the ocean. With their star-shaped bodies and vibrant colors, they light up the underwater world!

A Rainbow Underwater

Starfish come in many colors, like red, blue, orange, and purple. Their colors can be so bright and beautiful, just like a rainbow under the sea!

Amazing Arms

Most starfish have five arms, but some can have up to 40 arms! Imagine having 40 arms to wave hello! These arms help them move along the ocean floor, slowly but surely.

The Superpower of Regeneration

One of the most amazing things about starfish is their ability to regenerate. If they lose an arm, they can grow it back! It’s like if you lost a toy and could make it reappear. How cool is that?

A Star’s Diet

Starfish are great hunters. They eat clams, oysters, and small fish. They have a unique way of eating by extending their stomach out of their body to digest food. It’s like having a picnic outside your house!

Helping the Ocean

Starfish play a big part in the ocean’s health. They keep the number of other sea creatures in balance, which helps keep the ocean clean and healthy for everyone.
