Hi. My name is Max. I am learning about all kinds of starfish. Welcome to my page.
The Starfish ** The yellow and black starfish ate a clam on the beach at 12:00 in the afternoon because it was lunch time. By Max I.  4/08 = World of Starfish = = = By Max I. 4/08 Scientists call starfish sea stars because they are not fish. They are hard skinned meat eaters. Most starfish have 5 arms, some do not. They have an eye on the end of each arm. If they lose an arm a new arm will grow back. There are over 2000 different kinds of starfish. Starfish are 1-14 inches across. They are yellow, orange, red, brown, or purple in color. Starfish change color to blend in with their surroundings.

Full grown starfish don’t have many predators. People just don’t eat starfish because they’re too crunchy. Sometimes sea cucumbers and sand dollars will try to eat them.

Starfish usually eat clams oysters, small fish and mollusks.

The mom starfish lets thousands of eggs go into the water. The waves carry them for about two months. They look like a little tadpoles when they are ready to hatch. Not many of the babies survive because they get eaten by sea cucumbers and sand dollars.
