Yes, starfish are heterotrophs.
All animals are actually heterotrophs. The term "heterotroph" means that the organism does not produce its own food source, but instead must find nutrition within its environment. It doesn't matter how the heterotroph finds food - it can be a grazing herbivore, a carnivore, a scavenger, or anything else. Plants are the most common example of an autotroph. They form their own food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide in the process known as photosynthesis.
