The armour of a starfish feels very rough but once you have the starfish on your hand there are little tentacle with suction cups on the end that will stick on your hand and it will tickle a little bit.

Starfish are not fuzzy like most mammals. Starfish come from the animal kingdom echinodermata meaning bumpy skin. Starfish feel bumpy on their doral surface.

What does a starfish feel like and what does a starfish do when you touch it?

Other animals cannot inform us of how they feel, nor of why they feel that way. We do not even know that they have 'feelings', but - having them ourselves - we think thay might. ----- Ooooops ----- It appears that I misunderstood the questioner's use of the word "feel".... they meant to the touch, and not emotionally. All I can say is that the few I encountered as a child on the Atlantic coast of Ireland were more firm than a fish, but less firm than a crab or lobster. They also had a rough texture, a bit like sandpaper. But that is not exactly a scientific sample - about a dozen starfish in the middle of the 1950s in one bay. :-)
