When starfish catch prey and get the shell cracked open they regergitate their stomach which releases enzymes to kill and liquify the prey. After it's liquified the starfish basically swallows its stomach along with its food.

Describe how a sea star feeds on a clam?
It forces its stomach out, and sticks it inside of the clams shell. Then with the clam inside of the stomach, the starfish puts its stomach back on its inside. A sea star opens up a clam by attaching its hundreds of tube feet to the external surface of the shell with suction. Then, it pulls. It might have to pull for hours, or days, until the adductor muscle holding the shell firmly closed is finally weakened enough that the shell opens. Then the star fish can force its stomach in and digest the soft insides of the clam.
