FACTS:
• The most commonly-found starfish on the Oregon coast is the “Ochre Star”.
• Sea stars produce a “glue” that permanently adheres them to a rock or their prey. They then can secrete a substance that dissolves the “glue” when they are ready to let go.
• They have a diet that consists mostly of mussels.
• Ochre Stars can live up to 20 years in the wild.
