Starfish Dissection

Patrick
The starfish is found living on the seafloor of oceans, unlike their larvae, who swim in the water column. 

Starfish eat slow moving creature that reside on the seafloor such as mollusks, mussels, clams, oysters, and sand dollars. 

Their feet have tubes made out of simple squamous epithelial tissue which are perfect for gas exchange, allowing starfish to breathe.

Fun Fact: Starfishes have no brain or blood!
