Seastars, or starfish, are not herbivores; they are primarily carnivorous. They mainly feed on mollusks, such as clams and oysters, which they can open by everting their stomachs to digest the prey externally. Some species may also consume detritus or organic matter, but their diet primarily consists of animal matter.
