Rated 3 out of 5 by from Product was okay I have ordered from Carolina for years. This year the starfish were very small and deformed. This made cutting them open and evaluating them very hard. I have always been pleased with this product but not this year. They were useful but not of the quality that I have gotten use to expecting from Carolina.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sea Stars! For some reason, these individually packaged stars are easier to cut than the others we have tried.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from great for the price I am a mom who purchased this for a biology section on the ocean. Overall it is a good product. It was a little stiff, which most preserved items are, but with it being small in size it made it a bit more difficult. It had a very strong scent to it also. It was however in great condition. It came quickly and was preserved just like it should have been. We have dissected many different types and species of animals and organs. I really don't think there is anything better that the company could have done. I believe that starfish is just hard to preserve.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Starfish dried out The sea stars were dry and there was no stomach to be seen in all but one. They did not offer much in terms of seeing the organs of the central disk.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Difficult but Fun This product is difficult to dissect, and there is very little inside to see, but the students (grades 3-5) really enjoyed this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High quality starfish low price I was immensely pleased with my recent purchase of preserved starfish. I have been ordering starfish for years for our 7th graders to dissect. This batch was by far the best. I really appreciate Carolina's baker's dozen approach with the specimens. A few of my students loved having one of the extras all to themselves. In the past, other companies have sent exactly the number I ordered but a few of the specimens have been damaged in transit and we had to triple up on specimens. No problems like that with Carolina!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Starfish Ever The starfish were the best quality I have ever located. They were very pliable--not hard and dry like specimens I have dissected in past years.
