How do cephalopods capture their food?

Obtaining food

Cephalopod's are carnivores. A cephalopod captures prey using its muscular tentacles. Then it crushes the prey in a beak and scrapes and cuts the flesh with its radula. A cephalopod's tentacles contain sensitive suckers. The suckers receive sensations of taste as well as touch. A cephalopod doesn't have to touch something to taste it because the suckers respond to chemicals in the water. For example, when an octopus feels beneath a rock, its tentacles may find a crab by taste before touching it.
