These starfish are considered voracious predators. You'd be surprised to see how quickly they can move. Sea urchins are the starfish's favorite food, and in this photo, he's camped out very close to a bed of them - perhaps he's farming them like we do with cattle? Kind of like a Sea Urchin Ranch.... They also eat clams, snails, abalone, sea cucumbers and other sea stars. These animals are the largest starfish in the world. Sunflower starfish can grow to have an arm span of 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) in diameter. The other really interesting tidbit about these starfish - they can shed arms in order to escape from other predators and can regrow them in a matter of a few short weeks. Just imagine if we could do that..... notice this little guy is in the process of regrowing several of his legs.

They are considered voracious hunters and their favorite food is sea urchin, but they also enjoy other starfish. This one seems to have found both at this tidal pool in Northern California
