Sea stars are marine invertebrates. They typically have a central disc and usually five arms, though some species have a larger number of arms. The aboral or upper surface may be smooth, granular or spiny, and is covered with overlapping plates. Many species are brightly coloured in various shades of red or orange, while others are blue, grey or brown. Starfish have tube feet operated by a hydraulic system and a mouth at the centre of the oral or lower surface. Most can regenerate damaged parts or lost arms and they can shed arms as a means of defense. <br>

Donating to the museum

In New Leaf

After being donated to the museum, the Sea Star can be found in the large pool in the first room of the sea exhibit, along with many other species of sea creatures. It is found in the section of the pool closest to the entrance. The exhibit says this about the Sea Star:

"These star-shaped creatures have hundreds of tiny feet attached to their mobile arms. This allows them to slowly walk and open shellfish for food, making them effective predators. If an arm gets caught and ripped off by another predator, the sea star's arm will just grow back. Some sea stars eat by extending their stomachs out of their mouths to trap and then digest prey."

In New Horizons

When donating to the museum Blathers will say the following:

"The sea star may appear to have five feet...but those are, in fact, its arms. And though five-armed sea stars are the most common, there are species with 20 or even 40 arms out there! Ah, but the fascinating appendage facts do not end there, wot wot! You see, upon each sea star's arm sprout many dozens of tiny feet. Yes, FEET! They use these suction-cupped feet not just to move about...but to...eh...grab hold of dinner guests as well. Finally, it should be noted that when a sea star loses an arm, it can grow it back. More impressive yet, a severed sea star arm...can sometimes grow an entire sea star body back!"

The sea star is located in the shallow saltwater fish tank in the museum
