How do star fish move?
Starfish move using tube feet located on the underside of their arms. These tube feet are filled with water, allowing the starfish to create suction and grip onto surfaces as they move. By contracting and expanding these tube feet in a coordinated manner, starfish can slowly crawl along the ocean floor.

How does the water vascular system help a starfish move around?
The water vascular system of a starfish helps it move around by creating hydraulic pressure that powers the tube feet. These tube feet are connected to canals that run throughout the body of the starfish, allowing it to extend and contract them. By controlling the amount of water in the tube feet, the starfish can use them to grip and push off surfaces, enabling movement.
How do clams support themselves?
Clams move around by opening and closing their shells repeatedly. They are not filter feeders like oysters or mussels. Since they swim around, water circulates through their shells, and they get their food that way. Clams' main predators are starfish. ( I think that's right...)
