REMARKS

Some Sea stars reproduce when parts of their body break off and grow. If a Sea star loses its arm, another one can grow back.

They have an amazing water vascular system.

A Sea stars mouth is on the underside of its body, and some eat by pushing their stomach through their mouth.

How Do Fish Communicate
The colour of fish is one of the main forms of communication. With most fish lacking any form of vocalisation, the only way to communicate is by sight. This is very important at breeding time and camouflage is another aspect which makes them less vulnerable to predators and also helps them blend into the corals.

Low Isles, Great Barrier Reef Island

Sail on Wavedancer to an idyllic island. Snorkel, view turtles, explore the island with a marine biologist or just relax under a thatched umbrella.

Looking forward to spending the day with you
