Invertebrate: Sea star

Common Name: Sea Star
Scientific Name: Asteroidea
Adaptations: A sea star has five arms, if one of them is cut off it can regenerate or grow back.
Habitat: live on the sea floor
Interesting facts: sea stars have no brain, only nerve center that allows information to pass within the star, they are also omnivorous
I chose a sea star knowing it was an invertebrate from the Fish ID.
