Seastars have two stomachs, one of which can be everted out of the animal's mouth. When scavenging on dead things, the star can simply plop out its stomach onto the food. Digestive enzymes go to work on the food, and the resulting slurry is slurped up as the stomach is retracted back into the star's body.
