Starfish eat clams by grasping and pulling on the clams shell until the clam can't hold it close any longer. Once the shell is opened far enough, the starfish begins to feed on the clam.
Sea stars eat clams, mollusks, oysters, coral in the reefs, and some eat other sea stars.
by the pilings of the old pier, I found four starfish, a clam and a sea anemone.
A starfish uses its arms to pry open clam or oyster shells
It forces its stomach out, and sticks it inside of the clams shell. Then with the clam inside of the stomach, the starfish puts its stomach back on its inside. A sea star opens up a clam by attaching its hundreds of tube feet to the external surface of the shell with suction. Then, it pulls. It might have to pull for hours, or days, until the adductor muscle holding the shell firmly closed is finally weakened enough that the shell opens. Then the star fish can force its stomach in and digest the soft insides of the clam.
Most starfish eat clam, oysters, and mussels. There are a few species that eat sponges, plankton and coral. There are even some species that will go outside of the water to find decomposing plants and animals.
Starfish pry clams open in a very unusual way. They use their legs and suction cups to position and open, then push their stomach out of their body and grab the clam. Once the starfish has the clam, it withdraws the stomach back into the body.
