Starfish or sea stars are star-shaped echinoderms, hence the name. Therefore they belong to the class Asteroidea. Moreover they are marine invertebrates. Furthermore they typically have a central disc and usually five arms. However, some species have a larger number of arms. Some starfish can regenerate damaged arms.
