Why are bivalves the preferred food for many starfish?

Why do starfish live in water?
StarfishNo. No known type of starfish can survive in freshwater. But Starfish can live on land or in other water. They can live some in the ocean, some not, and a lot in shallow cold water.
Did larvae evolve before starfish?
Yes, larvae as a developmental stage evolved before starfish. The evolutionary lineage leading to echinoderms, which includes starfish, is believed to have diverged from common ancestors of other animal groups over 500 million years ago. Larval forms in marine organisms, including echinoderms, represent an ancient evolutionary strategy for dispersal and survival in the ocean. Thus, the concept of larval stages predates the specific evolution of starfish.
