If a starfish loses an arm, it has the power to regenerate, meaning it can grow its appendages back. In fact, if a live starfish lost all its legs(so that it would just be 5 seprate legs - or, at least, most of the time 5 legs) as long as each leg has part of the central body part, every leg can regenerate into a new starfish.

What are some weird facts about starfish?

Starfish have no brains and no blood. Their nervous system is spread through their arms and their blood is actually filtered sea water.When starfish lose an arm, they can grow it back! This process is called "Autotomy." After the arm comes off, the cut area begins to heal and a new arm begins to grow. The arm that is broken off will die. However, in some cases, not only do the starfish grow new arms, but the arms that have been cut off grow new starfish.
