Depends on the species, but most starfish prey on bivalve mollusks like mussels, clams, and scallops.

Also, most starfish are also detritivores, meaning that they will eat anything dead and lying on the ocean floor. Since they move so slowly, most animals can get away very easily, so they have to prey on things that can't swim or crawl away.
