Starfish use their tube feet, part of their water vascular system, to catch food. The tube feet operate through hydraulic pressure, allowing the starfish to grasp and manipulate prey, such as mollusks, on which they feed. Additionally, starfish can evert their stomachs to externally digest food before pulling it back in for nutrient absorption. This unique feeding mechanism enables them to exploit a variety of food sources in their marine environment.
