Starfish aren\u2019t really fish at all, they\u2019re a type of sea creature called echinoderms. The key difference is their lack of backbone. Fish have them but starfish don\u2019t. So, you\u2019ll often see starfish referred to as sea stars nowadays, to avoid the confusing classification.<\/p>
<\/p>
When you picture one, it probably looks like the fellow on this starfish tote bag, but sea stars can actually have up to 50 arms. They can cleverly grow new arms when one gets damaged.<\/p>
<\/p>
It\u2019s always exciting to spot one when rockpooling, just remember to be respectful when you see one. Crouch down to observe without frightening, and leave them where you find them.<\/p>
