yes, there are male and female starfish. they do not mate. they just release their gametes in the water and wait for the gamete of the opposite sex to fertilize it. some species of starfish can also reproduce through regeneration.
The male starfish is the larger starfish because the female gives the male the starfish eggs and he keeps them until they hatch.
The male starfish tend to be larger but sometimes the male is the runt of the litter!

Usually between 18-20 g. The male and female starfish are usally the same weight :)

2 to 5 inches depends on if its a male of female
Starfish can be male, female, or hermaphrodite. A hermaphrodite is a plant or animal that has reproductive organs of both sexes.
you can't you can't
sexaully and asexually. male and female starfish release gametes into the evironment hoping that they'll find another to fertillize.
Um, considering dogs are neither starfish nor amoebas, i'd say, yeah, a male IS necessary for sexual reproduction.
This question presupposes that starfish only mate with starfish that are "their match." Of course, there is no such thing as one starfish being "the match" of another. To the contrary, starfish simply mate with other starfish at random wherever they find them. And some species of starfish are hermaphroditic, meaning that each starfish has both male and female reproductive systems. Other species of starfish are sequentially hermaphroditic, meaning that they start out life having male reproductive systems and then become female later in life. In humans, over the last two centuries, it has become popular for couples to marry based on their perception of compatibility and sexual attraction. However, the success of such marriages is debatable, as the current divorce rate in the United States is between 40 and 50 percent, which is much higher than the divorce rate when marriages were arranged based on other criteria. In fact, many modern marriages that end up being successful, in spite of the fact that they are often based only on sexual compatibility, would likely have been successful anyway even if they had married based on older and more traditional methods of finding a match.
