We just learned about the Eight Armed Sea Star.
Another type of starfish is the Sunflower Sea Star also called the pycnopodia helianthoides.
These starfishes live in the pacific, and are the biggest starfish in the world growing to be about 3 feet wide.
They can have up to 24 arms, and can come in many colors like orange, yellow, red, brown, or purple.
If they get attacked by another animal, they can regrow them within a few weeks.
