Did you know? When a starfish looses a limb in the wild from a predator trying to eat it, the starfish can grow back its limb. It is common in the wild to see a starfish with 6 or more limbs as two limbs can take the place of the missing one. As with every pet that you have they require care attention; and you must be willing to take this responsibility on before you buy the pet. The average size of the starfish often depends on its species. The blue starfish can grow up to 12 inches on each of its legs. Diet
A starfish needs to be feed daily or weekly depending on the species of starfish. It is important to make sure that when you buy the starfish you ask how often the starfish needs to be feed.
