it is a starfish can regenerate by growing a new body part for the loss of an arm or a leg the body part grows too big when it grows back so the animal will grow to catch up.

Autotomy, aka "self-amputation", aka caudal autotomy is also characteristic of a variety of reptiles and amphibians who can drop a portion of their tails and flee. Over time they can regrow their tail - although usually the part of the tail that was bone is replaced with cartilage in the re-grown tail so it's not quite a thorough a regeneration as that displayed by starfish.

Sea cucumbers can expel internal organs when stressed and later regrow them.

Some crabs like the stone crab have a limited ability to regrow lost claws - although even among species that display this ability most die when one or both claws are lost.
