How long can starfish last without food?

Do you know how long starfish can last without food? I know its weird but my friend wants to know because she doesn't want to buy starfish food because she took two from the ocean and she thinks they will just die anyway so how long can they last without being fed?
Answers:
dont really know sorry
Are they in a saltwater aquarium or just in a bowl of water? People pay tons of money for starfish because they are a rarity and very interesting, this is such a waste, go put them back in the ocean. Tell your friend to be more responsible and feed it and put it in the right atmosphere if she wants to keep it. They will only last a few days unless they are cared for properly.
I agree with the others. Your friend is downright cruel!!!
Take it back to the ocean and let it live!!!!
Starfish are ultrasensitive to changes in salinity (saltwater) and your friend probably knows nothing about saltwater fish.
It will start falling apart and literally deteriorating!
If she doesn't know what or when to feed it, should she really have the responsibility of having it for a pet? Besides, let the poor baby go! It's supposed to live free in it's envirnment. Not some tank, with someone who doesn't know how to feed it. Bring it back, or have the ASPCA let it go. At least they care..
