Answer 1

I wish people would be more specific with a question. What is a starfishes feeler things??? If you don't know what something is called you should find out, it is the smart thing to do. Also there are a lot of different starfish like dogs not every dog is a poodle. You should be able to find the answer to your question at the Ocean Graphic Aquarium at Woods hole Cape Cod Massachusetts on line. You can try Sea World on line for information, Boston Aquarium etc. You could just check out your encyclopedia in you computer for the information or at least find out what those feeler things are. Your local library should have that information too. Don't get lazy and look to others to give you the answers you are looking for when with a little effort you can obtain the information your self. If you need to ask a question make sure it is a question that people can understand...Hope you find the answer you are looking for...Best of luck...
