Yes, starfish are considered decomposers. They tend to absorb whatever is on the surface they happen to be resting on, which tends to be some kind of plant matter.
A starfish can reproduce by mating with another starfish or asexually. Asexual reproduction is usually done after a starfish experiences dismemberment. The dismembered arm can grow into a whole new starfish.
No, a starfish is not an herbivore. Starfish are carnivorous animals that feed primarily on mollusks, crustaceans, and other small marine creatures. They use their tube feet to pry open the shells of their prey.
the ventral surface of a starfish is called oral You Jerk.
A starfish is a free-moving animal. It can use its tube feet to move slowly along the ocean floor.

Starfish are benthic predators. Since they usually eat shellfish like mussels or scallops, they would be second order consumers.
No it is a secondary consumer. They eat mussels which in turn eat seaweed.
Consumers in the benthic zone, called Zoobenthos, can range from starfish in the intertidal zone, to bottom-dwelling flatfish, to deep sea Rattails. The type of consumer is highly dependent on the specific areas in the benthic zone.
Most species of starfish eat mussels and other mollusks, or shellfish. Small starfish need to be on the lookout for larger starfish, which will sometimes attack, kill and eat them. Manta rays, some sharks and other large, bony fishes eat starfish.
there are cusion starfish, reef starfish, spiny starfish and fire brick starfish in new zealand.
Secondary consumers in coral reefs are organisms that feed on primary consumers, such as herbivorous fish and invertebrates. Examples of secondary consumers in coral reefs include carnivorous fish, octopuses, and some species of snails. These organisms play a crucial role in regulating the population of primary consumers and maintaining the balance of the coral reef ecosystem.
It is called toilet water.
sea urchins are one example of secondary consumers in the marine biome ?
Yes they can
