Is a sea star the same as a starfish?
I have to do a report on a starfish, but when doing research on the internet, it always comes up with "Buy starfish and sea stars now!"
Thanks!!

Sea star and starfish are the same thing. I just did a dissection the other day of a starfish and can help you with any questions just post them on yahoo questions. So you know I will give you link with valid information but if it is not so important i would suggest you try wikipedia but here is a science website.http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/animals/invertebrates/starfish.html
