Starfish primarily eat mollusks such as clams and oysters. Starfish will also eat small fish and snails as well as sea sponges and plankton.
What happens when a starfish looses an arm?
It grows a new arm. Not only that, but the lost arm (if not eaten by something) grows into a new sea star. Unfortunately, we "superior" beings traded this regenerative capability for such baubles as arched feet, opposable thumbs, stereoscopic eyes, and brains. Can't have everything.
Starfish do not have fur. They actually have soft spines that cover their whole bodies. These are used for protection.
What are the predators of a starfish?
a starfishes enemies are the Triton which is a gastropod. The struggle between a sea cushion and an Atlantic Triton can last up to an hour before the sea star is subdued by the snail's paralyzing saliva.

What is the central region of a starfish?
The central region, more commonly known as the Central Disk, is the middle of the starfish where the rays start to grow. The Central Disk also contains the pyloric stomach, the anus, the Madreporite, and the stone canalwhich connects the Madreporite to the inner organs.
How do starfish breathe underwater?
they survive by breathing thru thea skin. they have no face so they breathe thru thea skin.
+++ Not for long though. Once the sea-water dries off their skin the poor things will suffocate.
Function of vascular water system in starfish?
Starfish move using a water vascular system. Water comes into the system via the madreporite. It is then circulated from the stone canal to the ring canal and into the radial canals. The radial canals carry water to the ampulla (reservoir) portion of tube feet. Each tube foot consists of an internal ampulla and an external podium, or "foot". When the ampulla is squeezed, it forces water into the podium, which expands to contact the substrate. In some circumstances the tube feet seem to work as levers, but when moving on vertical surfaces, they form a traction system. Although the podium resembles a suction cup in appearance, the gripping action is a function of adhesive chemicals rather than suction. Other chemicals and podial contraction allow for release off the substrate.
The tube feet latch on to surfaces and move in a wave, with one body section attaching to the surfaces as another releases.
No they don't have either a tongue, teeth, lips, or esophogus
No, starfish don't have lips, teeth, tongue, throat or esophagus. Starfish simply extrude their stomach over what they wish to eat. Saves on a lot of parts.
Starfish generally do not have contact with other starfish. However, biologists have proven that during the breeding season, starfish send out signals when they are ready to reproduce. This causes the starfish to congregate during this time period.

Are starfish and sea stars the same thing?

Will a starfish live if it is cut in half?
Yes, as long as the starfish is still alive and both sides of the starfish have part of the center it can regenerate.
What is the function of the spines in a sea star?
The spines on the oral surface are softer and bend to cover the mouth of the starfish as well as the ambulacral grooves. They are basically for protection.
Does a starfish have feathers?
A starfish has neither fur or hair. It is an exoskeleton animal, which has its skeleton outside its body.
