Here are some characteristics that differentiate starfish from other organisms and make them so unique:

  • Possession of tube feet.
  • Most species have pedicellaria, claw-shaped structures with movable jaws.
  • Radial symmetry
  • They can possess from 5 to 15 arms.
  • Do not possess brain.
  • They can regenerate parts of their body.
