Best Answer

The average star fish (sea star) will have 5 arms in the shape of a star. However, more complex sea stars can have up to 20 arms! All vary in shape, size and color; they can be deep red or light yellow or even the rare black one, any color. Some will have spikes (called crowns) or thorns or lumps on their body.

Yes, a starfish has a mouth located on its underside in the center of its body. The mouth is designed to open and close, allowing the starfish to feed on various prey such as mollusks, plankton, and algae.

No, I don't believe they do. They don't have brains, either.

Sort of. It pushes its stomach to the ground and absorbs things to eat, so I suppose that the hole in the bottom could be called a mouth.
