== They are born with about 5 or 6. However, their arms multiply as they grow older & by the time they reach adulthood they have between 15 & 24 arms. Type "sunflower sea star arms" into Google & see for yourself. Below, I have added a link to Google in case you want to check it out.

The aggresive yet rare angel tooth sea star was been known to grow as large as 20 feet in diameter. This is also the only star fish known to science to have prey upon humans, particularly surfers who are wicked high. Dude.

A starfish can lose many legs and it can still live, since a starfish has reproductive organs. This causes them to reproduce another leg instead of the one it lost, it takes time though, about 2 to 3 weeks. If their legs get injured it is likely they can grow 3 or more legs instead of 1! Freaky or what?

Most have five, but four, six, or more are not unusual.

I know that Patrick Starfish is well over 4 feet tall.

I have seen sun-fish (a type of star-fish with many many arms) grow as much as a metre across.
