summary: My starfish can be found in sand or mud when catching its prey. They may also be found on rocks ao pillars when searching for prey such as barnacles and tubeworms. It doesn't tolerate being out of water very well. the only time that a pink sea star may be seen out of the water is during low tides. It usually lives in the water at depths of 600 feet. It is able to regenerate as long as it still has its central disk. The Pink starfish also has eyespots on each of its arms to see in each direction to be aware of predators. The Pink starfishes predators consist of sharks, manta rays, and large bony fish.
