Pink Sea Star



Description


The pink sea star is the most famous of all starfish in the ocean, most notably being depicted on kid′s shows and television.


This starfish is most likely to be seen since it resides toward the surface of the water and won′t be found any deeper than 360 feet in the ocean. Pink sea stars enjoy muddy or sandy areas and enjoy open spaces.


You may spot one floating in the open ocean while out boating.


Pink sea stars have five arms and a robust diet consisting of sand dollars, clams, mussels, and polychaetes.


These creatures will dig around in sediment to grab and suck up prey, too. However, birds and otters will gladly snatch a pink sea star up for a meal.
