About This Reader
Starfish, or sea stars, are remarkable marine animals found in diverse ocean habitats worldwide. These adaptable echinoderms thrive in a range of environments, from the warm, crystal-clear waters of tropical coral reefs to the frigid depths of polar seas. Many starfish species prefer shallow, coastal waters where they cling to rocks or hide among seaweed in the intertidal zone. This behavior helps them withstand the strong currents and crashing waves of their dynamic home. Coral reefs serve as another important habitat, providing both food and shelter for various starfish species. Some adventurous sea stars have even adapted to life in the abyssal plains, the deepest parts of the ocean. The wide distribution of starfish across different marine ecosystems showcases their resilience and importance in ocean food webs, making them fascinating subjects for marine biology and conservation studies.
