How to identify starfish on Maryland beaches?

Look for five rayed arms radiating from a central disc. Forbes's common starfish has a rough surface with small spines. Pay attention to color: most are tan or brown, but some can be gray or orange. Size ranges from 4 to 12 inches. If you find a starfish with six or more arms, it might be a mutation or a different species. Check our starfish identification page for more details.

Can you keep starfish you find in Maryland?

It is generally illegal to remove live starfish from Maryland's coastal waters. The state protects marine life in state parks and natural areas. Dried starfish found above the high tide line are usually okay to collect, but check local regulations. If you want a starfish souvenir, consider buying one of the gifts above instead of taking from the wild.
