How does the starfish get food?
The starfish can find food using the tips of its legs. When it finds food (a shellfish like a clam, oyster, scallop) it wraps around the back side of it and uses its suction cups to pry the thing open. Next, its stomach comes OUT of its body through a hole in the center, enters the now helpless shellfish, and eats the inside.
