When the starfish catches its prey, it prys open the mollusk with its arms. Then it injects its stomach and dissolves the insides of the mollusk. It then brings its stomach back into its own body and digests the food. It is basically turns its stomach inside out.

The digestive system of a jellyfish is simply a cavity (coelenteron or enteric cavity) with a 'mouth' into which food is taken; the digestible portion is dissolved and absorbed in this cavity, and the remains are ejected back through the mouth.So that means that they really don't have one.

A continuous digestive tract which enables food to be continually taken in at one end and the waste products to be eliminated at the other is refered to as a through-gut. This is a more efficient system that ones where the ingestion and egestion is through the same opening e.g. hydra.
