Does a starfish lay eggs give birth to another starfish and how many babies do they have at a time?
Starfish do not lay eggs like other animals; therefore, zero times. Uniquely, starfish are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Asexual reproduction in starfish generally involves the dismemberment of an appendage that grows into a exact copy of the parent. This form of reproduction is not ideal, and only occurs when an appendage is lost (not on purpose).
Sexual reproduction occurs through a process called spawning. Rather than lay eggs on solid ground, starfish of both sexes release millions of free-floating sperm and eggs into the water through gonads, sexual organs on a starfish's arms.
Starfish may undergo spawning multiple times in one breeding season, dependent on the species.
