The Starfish


What's the most famous fish in the sea?  The starfish!!! Get it. The starfish has an eye on each arm. It can also grow back an arm if it lost it. It's mouth is at the bottom of it's body. It's most likely for them to get eaten because they really stand out when they're the opposite color of the ocean and they can't camouflage. Well maybe they could blend with coral and maybe some of them camouflage. I'm not sure. They eat clams and mussels.

well, some animals don't camouflage and stand out on purpose. Like a Monarch Butterfly. They stand out because they are poisonous and they want to send a warning to other animals that might eat them (like birds) to say "Hey you! Eat me and you'll throw up!" So maybe a starfish has poison in it too??? I'm not sure.
