Can starfish think?
no they have no brains
What animals do not have a brain?
Jellyfish don't have brains Starfish do not have brains. Instead they have a cluster of nerves called ganglia. Being more specific than the person before me, I am doing a science course that basically says that there are some animals(E.g. earth worms, shrimp and starfish) that do not have brains per say but they have clusters of ganglia that make a plexus or plexi (the plural form of plexus) and these act as nerve centers. -Actually, earthworms and shrimp (as do all arthropods) have central brains. However, they also possess a chain of ganglia along their nerve cords. Echinoderms (such as starfish) do not have true brains, instead having nerve nets.

What are some weird facts about starfish?
Starfish have no brains and no blood. Their nervous system is spread through their arms and their blood is actually filtered sea water.When starfish lose an arm, they can grow it back! This process is called "Autotomy." After the arm comes off, the cut area begins to heal and a new arm begins to grow. The arm that is broken off will die. However, in some cases, not only do the starfish grow new arms, but the arms that have been cut off grow new starfish.
Do starfish have 2 stomachs?
Starfish, not truly a fish despite its name, does not, in fact, have two stomachs. From astounding new discoveries, we have found that this is not true; they have three. If you take a look at the Internet, it says that starfish have two stomachs. I am part of a team of science researchers trying to help make the Internet as fact-based as possible, when needed. Thank you for your time; on behalf of the team, I hope this helped.-ScienceUnited Team
