Seahorses & Starfish

• Every morning after the male and female seahorse mate, they meet, greet, and change color.
• Baby seahorses are called "colts." They're transparent. You can watch their hearts beat.
• A seahorse is in its fast mode if it travels a foot a minute.
• Those "arms" that stick out around a starfish are called "rays." Most starfish have five ... though some have up to 40.
• A starfish can replace a lost limb by growing a new one. What's even more astounding is that the lost limb can grow a new starfish!
• All baby starfish are males.
• Where mussels grow the starfish thrive. Usually.
