The one thing that I’m focused on, are sponges. SPONGES. Many people believe that the type of sponges we’re talking about, are the sponges we clean with... well, you’re wrong. The sponges that scientists keep trying to explain to people that live in the ocean, sea sponges. Now I’m worried for sea sponges, because starfish keep eating them. And frankly I feel very bad for their habitats. Because the ocean needs the sponges help. The ocean relies on porifera/sponges to help the ocean, to help it grow, to help it prosper, and to help animals live and eat.

A sea star captures its prey by wrapping itself around its prey, such as a clam, mollusk, or oyster, using its suction cups on its feet. After a while, the prey forgets about the starfish and opens its shells (mouth). Then, the starfish holds open the prey with its feet, and turns its stomach inside out (throws it up), and slowly digests the preys organs.

A sea star eats mainly mollusks. It does this by using the water vascular system in its body to attach itself the the shell of its prey. The prey resists, but over time, its muscles become tired, and the sea star inverts its stomach into the shell to suck in the animal.
