Bivalves are a preferred food for many starfish due to their soft-bodied nature and ease of access to their nutritious tissues. The hard shells of bivalves provide some protection, but starfish possess specialized feeding mechanisms, such as everted stomachs, allowing them to digest prey outside their bodies. Additionally, bivalves are abundant in marine environments, making them a readily available food source for various starfish species. Their high protein content also makes bivalves an attractive energy source for these predators.

Why do starfish legs fall off?

Yes, most starfish can regrow an arm (also known as a ray) if it is lost. However, a single arm will not grow into a new starfish. From what I have learned, as long as a part of the central point of the sea star still attached, the starfish can completely regrow. So, it is also possible for 2 halves to grow into 2 new starfish.
