Description
Found world-wide, the common starfish is one of the most widely recognized starfish, having the typical five-armed shape. It is frequently discovered in shallow rock pools where it feeds on oysters, clams and other mussels. This aggressive predator uses its five arms to advantage, prying open the shells of its prey and devouring the contents.
