Starfish are not really fish. They are spiny invertebrates called echinoderms. Other echinoderms are sea urchins, sand dollars and sea cucumbers. To avoid confusion, biologists prefer to call them "sea stars." Our Spiny Sun Star will add a colorful splash to your sea-life diorama or school project. You'll find it useful for undersea dioramas, school projects, toys, novelties, animal collections, party favors and more. Our plastic sea star is for decoration or play only. It does not float, and should NOT be put in your aquarium. However, you can make an awesome sea-life or aquarium shoebox diorama using this and other plastic aquatic creatures and mammals, sharks, fish, sea turtles, birds, and décor  from our gift shop. There is no mess, no feeding, and no tank cleaning :) The underside of our 2 1/4-inch plastic sun star is white and has grooves and canals like a real starfish. It's name is printed on the underside. Come look through our entire collection of sea star toys and gifts. Discover the enchanting world of the Sunflower Sea Star, a marine marvel that captivates with its vibrant colors and dynamic presence in oceanic realms. This fascinating creature, scientifically known as Pycnopodia helianthoides, is renowned for its impressive size and striking appearance, resembling a radiant sunflower. Boasting an array of up to 24 arms, the Sunflower Sea Star is a true spectacle of the sea. Its habitat spans across the Pacific Ocean's cool waters, from Alaska to California, thriving in a diverse range of underwater environments. This starfish is not only a visual delight but also plays a crucial role in marine ecosystems, maintaining ecological balance. Its unique ability to regenerate lost arms adds to its mystique, symbolizing resilience and adaptability. Admirers of oceanic wonders and marine biology enthusiasts will find the Sunflower Sea Star a captivating subject, offering a glimpse into the ocean's vast biodiversity. Starfish or sea stars are star-shaped echinoderms belonging to the class Asteroidea. Common usage frequently finds these names being also applied to ophiuroids, which are correctly referred to as brittle stars or "basket stars". About 1,500 species of starfish occur on the seabed in all the world's oceans, from the tropics to frigid polar waters. They are found from the intertidal zone down to abyssal depths, 6,000 m (20,000 ft.) below the surface.     Thanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!
