Interestingly, the Starfish is capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction. Which is to say they can have babies both with a partner and without one. Starfish often reproduce by what's called "free-spawning" in which they release their gametes into the water where they hopefully are fertilized by gametes from the opposite sex.
Starfish most probably gather in groups when ready to spawn, releasing chemical indicators to let other starfish know of their readiness. Starfish spawn are like insects, going through multiple stages of development and larval stages. Unlike adults, larval forms of starfish have distinct left and right sides.
