Causes of Climate Change. Climate change is a long-term shift in weather conditions identified by changes in temperature, precipitation, winds, and other indicators.
Answer by Marcin Wojtkowski. Confidence votes 167. Most sea star (starfish) species are generalist predators, some eating bivalves like mussels, clams, and oysters; or any animal slow enough to be unable to evade the attack (e.g. dying fish). Some species are detritivores, eating decomposed animal and plant material, or organic films attached to substrate.
This is useful if the sea star is threatened by a predator - it can drop an arm, get away and grow a new arm. Sea stars house most of their vital organs in their arms, so some can even regenerate an entirely new sea star from just one arm and a portion of the star's central disc. It won't happen too quickly, though.
