Marine Life Scene with a Scallop Shell and Starfish
On the sandy sea floor within a coral meadow, a prominent scallop shell houses a starfish. Shells resting on ocean sediment provide temporary shelter and surfaces for small marine organisms living near coral reefs.
Remarkable Attributes of Starfish
Starfish possess hundreds of tiny tube feet on their undersides that operate using hydraulic water pressure. These tube feet allow starfish to crawl smoothly across ocean sand and grip surfaces firmly. If a starfish loses an arm to a predator, it has the ability to regenerate a replacement limb over time.
