A starfish with more than five legs is often referred to as a "multiple-armed starfish" or "polymorphic starfish." While most starfish typically have five arms, some species can naturally exhibit more due to genetic mutations or environmental factors. The term "asteroid" can also be used in a broader sense to describe starfish in general, regardless of the number of arms.
