yes they only eat clams, dead crabs, dead fish, and oysters!!! They eat small live fish and mollusks added to the list above. The starfish has a stomach outside the body and is able to send it into the interior of the shell and consume the creature from the inside. See the related link for more information.

∙ 14y agoI've seen starfish eating a snail. When i was about kindergarten i went to the beach. It was far and my dad had work to do there. We stayed there for a few weeks. Me, my mom and my sis decided to go to the beach and catch snails. My mom found a starfish. The snails that we caught earlier was in a bucket. It was filled with water. Not much water only a little. We put the starfish in there too. We started to catch other snails. Then about 1 or 2 snails were gone. We watched for a few minutes and the starfish started lying over one snail and the snails disappear. We only saw it eating 1. I think it only ate 2.

∙ 12y agoStarfish do not usually eat shrimp. They are very slow predators that tend to go after prey like oysters or clams. However, they often act as scavengers so if a dead or very wounded shrimp were to be near a starfish, it would not pass up the opportunity of food.
