Starfish are fascinating animals which are part of a larger group called ‘echinoderms’, meaning ‘spiny-skinned’. The group includes some very spiny species like sea urchins, sea cucumbers and brittle stars.

Starfish do not always have five arms, some species have more. For example the common sun star and the seven armed starfish, both found in British waters and the crown of thorns starfish found in tropical waters.

There are around 1,500 different species of starfish in the world and around 32 species in British waters.

Most starfish release eggs and sperm into the open water, where fertilization occurs. Larvae then drift freely in the sea as plankton allowing wide dispersal. One of the most beautiful and interesting larvae is that of the seven armed starfish, which resembles a shooting star. When ready to settle, the larvae split into two sections. A small orange starfish, which sinks to the seabed and a transparent, jelly-like section, which continues on its way, surviving for over a month before eventually dying. The cushion Starfish is different as it lays its eggs, on the shore, which develop into tiny starfish.

About
The common starfish is highly common in UK seas, found in rockpools and out at sea to depths of at least 600m. They are active predators, feasting on bivalves such as mussels and clams. As such, they have been known to become a bit of a pest on mussel and oyster beds! Starfish feed on shellfish by pulling the shells open with their arms, inserting their own stomach into the shell and dissolving their prey with digestive juices, before reabsorbing their stomach full of the shellfish soup.

Starfish will form huge aggregations when food is plentiful, drawn in by their keen sense of smell. They don’t have a nose – they use special receptors in their skin!. Starfish aren’t really fish, they are a type of sea creature called an echinoderm, which means “spiny skinned”. Echinoderms includes starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and brittle stars.

White Gold Crown Charm CM00174.

A crown is traditionally worn by a King/Queen, or by a deity, for whom the crown traditionally represents power, legitimacy, victory, triumph, honour and glory as well as immortality, righteousness and resurrection.

In art, the crown may be shown being offered to those on Earth by angels. Apart from the traditional form, crowns also may be in the form of a wreath and be made of flowers, oak leaves, or thorns and be worn by others, representing what the coronation part aims to symbolize with the specific crown. In religious art, a crown of stars is used similarly to a halo.

Crowns worn by rulers often contain jewels.
