by the pilings of the old pier, I found four starfish, a clam and a sea anemone.

Starfish can live to be up to 20 years old. Some species are capable of sexual reproduction, and others can reproduce asexually.
they dont age very fast the can get pretty old!
Well, just today I saw a video in AP Bio that said yes, starfish can potentially live forever, that they "never grow old."
there are cusion starfish, reef starfish, spiny starfish and fire brick starfish in new zealand.
It gets really old and then a shark or fish will eat?????????
From an 11 year old's experience and knowledge, I don't think so.
It is called toilet water.
Starfish use mitosis for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. Mitosis allows their cells to divide and create new cells to replace damaged or old ones. In asexual reproduction, mitosis is responsible for generating new starfish individuals from a single parent.
Starfish lay millions of eggs. In a single instance, they release up to 1,000eggs which are met and fertilized within the water columns by the male ones released simultaneously.
Sure, starfish larvae are planktonic. Adult starfish are not.
