Starfish, not truly a fish despite its name, does not, in fact, have two stomachs. From astounding new discoveries, we have found that this is not true; they have three. If you take a look at the internet, it says that starfish have two stomachs. I am part of a team of science researchers trying to help make the Internet as fact-based as possible, when needed. Thank you for your time; on behalf of the team, I hope this helped.
