The young one of a starfish is called a larva which is usually wingless and wormlike in appearance. There are many living species of starfish that occur in all the world's oceans. Starfish mostly occur in depth greater than 6000 metres.

There are many kinds of Starfish :

Common Star ~ Asterias forbesii
Bahama Star ~ Oreaster reticulatus
Comet Star ~ Linckia guildingii
Basket Star ~ Astrophyton muricatum
Serpent Star ~ Ophioderma brevispimum
Red Serpent Star ~ Ophioderma squamosissimum
Harlequin Serpent Starfish ~ Ophioderma appressum

and many more. The most common is the Common Star and Bahama Star.
