STORY
Starfish can be found in many different rocky areas along Australia's coastline.
There are many different colours and patterns on the Sea Stars, which are often very brightly coloured. On the underneath of Starfish are small sucker feet which the Starfish uses to grip onto the rocks, as well as to open shells for feeding. There are various species of Sea Star/ Starfish all of different sizes, and with different numbers of arms. Sea Stars also have the fabulous ability of growing new body parts if they need them to help their survival.
