A starfish's 'mouth' is on the bottom, centered. To get food, it will find a nice, tasty mollusc like a clam, use its arms to pry open the shell, and then suck out the contents with its mouth.

Do starfish eat starfish?
Not really, mainly starfish prey prefer shelled animals such as oysters and clams. They would not eat starfish because to feed they tend to push open shells using their tube feet and extend their stomach out to engulf and digest food. Starfish have a rough surface and starfish prefer soft tissue as a food.
