Starfish had recently made up his mind

he was really a ‘star’ of the famous kind.  

So he spent all his days stuck to the glass,

craving the looks of people who passed.

Starfish lives in a tank with Seahorse, Jellyfish, Clownfish and Ray. He longs for fame and makes sure to push his aquarium companions to the back of the tank so he can be the star of the show. Then one day, a crack in the tank threatens all of the occupants. Only Starfish can stop the water rushing out. But it’s in the dark recesses of the tank. Is Starfish willing to forego stardom to save the day?
