No, the correct name is Sea Star. All fish are Vertebrate chordates. Sea Stars do not have a hollow notochord (chordate). Sea Stars belong to the Phylum Echinoderm (spiny skin). Other members of this Phylum are the sand dollars, sea urchins and sea cucumbers.

Asterina Gibossa, a rare species of starfish, are born male but later they change themselves into females. Also there are some other species of starfish that can change their gender with the change of temperature and it also depends on the availability of food.

Starfish can reproduce asexually and by spawning. Since starfish can regenerate limbs if the a limb and a portion of the central disk is removed, the asexual reproduction is possible.
