Starfish produce a large number of sperms and eggs as they breed with a process called free-spawning. To make the process of the gametes of opposite sexes meet, the starfish will release a chemical that attracts other starfish.

Does a starfish lay eggs give birth to another starfish and how many babies do they have at a time?
Starfish do not lay eggs like other animals; therefore, zero times. Uniquely, starfish are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction in starfish generally involves the dismemberment of an appendage that grows into a exact copy of the parent. This form of reproduction is not ideal, and only occurs when an appendage is lost (not on purpose). Sexual reproduction occurs through a process called spawning. Rather than lay eggs on solid ground, starfish of both sexes release millions of free-floating sperm and eggs into the water through gonads, sexual organs on a starfish's arms. Starfish may undergo spawning multiple times in one breeding season, dependent on the species.

Why is the ability of an insect to remove another insect's sperm packet from the reproductive tracts of a female an advantage?
When a male insect removes a rival's sperm packet from a female, he prevents his rival from producing progeny (babies), and gains the reproductive advantage by guaranteeing that all eggs produced by the female will be fertilized with his sperm.

How often do starfish mate?
Starfish can either spawn together with eggs and sperm or they can reproduce by themselves. A new starfish can form from a separated part which is considered reproduction. They don't exactly have mating behaviors though.
