The skin reinforced by numerous calcareous thickenings, as well as a locomotion system based on a complex set of channels inside the body in which the water pressure is regulated.

Starfishes should not be touched because they are very delicate creatures; human hands can crush or damage their small external and internal structures, condemning them to certain death.
They live thanks to their dermal skeleton and madreporite, a filter that allows them to move and live, which would be damaged just by touching the starfish.
The fingers of man, moreover, can eliminate from their body the mucus of self-defense that they possess, leaving them at the mercy of attacks, as well as transfer oils and bacteria on their damask that can generate even severe infections over time.
But it doesn’t end there. Every time a starfish is fished, it dies, even if it is thrown back into the sea, considering that once out of the water, it absorbs air that can compromise its delicate hydraulic system. It creates a bubble of air in speedy times that prevents it from breathing underwater.
Their diet is varied, but they are mostly carnivorous and can be divided into two groups: macrophages and macrophages. The former feed on planktonic microorganisms suspended in the water and animal microorganisms of the benthos (aquatic organisms living in close contact with the bottom or attached to a solid substrate).
They are captured by the eyelash arms, embedded in mucus and conveyed by the eyelash system arranged along the ambulatory channels, towards the stomach.
