No, for the most part, sea stars are meat eating predators, many choosing to feed at night. They are able to sneak up on sleeping fish, covering their homes in the reefs, and devouring them on the spot. Sea stars can extrude their stomachs and digest their meals.

Crown of Thorns sea stars are known for eating corals, but will scavenge on dead fish when found.
