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.
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.

The suckers
Starfish have little tube feet each with a sucker at the end,. They stick so hard they can pull clams open.
Starfish's prey are mussel's, clams, hermit crabs.
coral and clams
Clams, oysters.
Starfish are carnivores (they eat meat) Like clams, oysters, and fish Sometimes starfish eat other starfish
Probably because bivalves are tasty and nutritious (who doesn't like clams?) and their shells are easy for a starfish to pry open. They also like other echinoderms like urchins.
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.
