Starfish

The Starfish is also called a sea star. Starfish eat shellfish and other small slow sea creatures. They move by crawling on the ocean floor. Some starfish eat other starfish. Their spiny skin protects them for other predators. Even if a shark or crab bites off a body part, they can re-grow the part. When a starfish eats, it puts its stomach outside its body!
