They eat calms, oysters, mussels, small fish, sea snails , and barnacles.
The predators that eat that are manta rays, some sharks and other bony fishes like to pick them off the bottom of the sea and eat them. Sometimes other larger starfishes since they can eat the starfish by attacking, kill and then eat.

∙ 12y agoI've been asking my mom for a while to get me a starfish but she doesnt listen so i figured since her friend has a starfish i can ask her about it and learn more about them so my mom can get me one so the first question i asked was what do starfish eat? She told me:
Starfish will attach to clams and oysters. Then they use their powerful suction cups on their legs and open the shell of their prey. Finally, they push their stomach out through their mouth and up against the body of the clam or oyster and digest It.And theirs your answer! :)
