Starfish are a elegant and slightly quirky design in the jewellery sector. They provide some more creative shapes than stars while still looking quite similar. No wonder why starfish is enjoying increasing popularity.
But there is more to starfish than just their "looks". Here are some fun facts for you:
Despite their name, starfish are not fish. They are actually echinoderms, closely related to sea urchins and sand dollars.
Starfish have remarkable regenerative abilities. If a starfish loses an arm, it can often grow it back. In some species, a whole new starfish can regenerate from a single arm and a portion of the central disc.
Starfish move using a unique water vascular system. They have tube feet with suction cups on the underside that help them to move, capture prey, and even open shellfish.
Starfish are opportunistic feeders and primarily prey on mollusks like clams and oysters. They use their tube feet to pry open the shells of their prey, and then they evert their stomach out of their mouth to digest the soft tissues of the prey within the shell.
Starfish come in a wide range of sizes. While some are tiny, measuring only a few inches across, others can have arms that span up to three feet.
Starfish have eyespots at the tip of each arm. These eyespots can detect changes in light and dark but are not capable of forming detailed images.
Starfish exhibit a variety of colors, including shades of red, orange, yellow, blue, and brown. Some species have the ability to change color to blend in with their surroundings.
While the classic image of a starfish is the five-armed variety, not all species conform to this. Some starfish have more arms, and others may have fewer.
