Starfish are not mollusks. Starfish are classified as echinoderms, which is a phylum of marine animals that are known for their symmetry as adults. Other animals in this phylum are sand dollars and sea urchins. Sea-stars, or starfish, belong to the class Asteroidea. Like mollusks, however, starfish can be found in the intertidal zone of the ocean, where mollusks are commonly found.
