Welcome To the Beach

I have a good friend  who loves to go to the beach every year.  She gets revived with every beach trip. And she loves starfish. 

Here are some characteristics of  starfish or sea stars as they are also known:

^{Main Characteristics of The Starfish (copied from the internet.)}

• Arms. The starfish usually have 5 arms with ambulacral grooves , although there are also specimens with 20 arms.
• Mouth. This is located in the middle of the oral disc; and it is strategically bordered by a peristomial membrane, which is formed by a sphincter.
• Color and skin. Starfish have different and very attractive colors, which captivate the attention of anyone.  
• They have the ability to regenerate an arm if it is torn off.  However, it can take about a year.
• Size and weight. Their size and weight vary according to the species, however their measurements generally range between 12 to 25 centimeters in diameter. There are about 2000 varieties. 
• Behavior. These marine creatures are the calmest of the aquatic environment, and they usually carry out all their activities at night.

You might find this video about star fish interesting.  It is only a few minutes long.
