Sea stars don't have brains... nor eyes and blood for that matter. This means they can't actively do things like "care" for their young. Sea stars release their eggs and sperm into the ocean. the eggs are fertilized externally and they drift on currents. Young stars float as plankton for a time until they are fully formed, at which point they settle on the ocean floor.
