The stomach of a starfish has an extension known as a 'pyloric cecum'. This extends through each arm of the starfish, and supplies the nutrients directly to the rest of the starfish's body. As such, no blood flow or other sort of circulatory system is needed. In fact, starfish don't even have blood.
