What is a small shellfish that clings onto ships?
A limpet clings to rock and moves round feeding when covered by a high tide. Barnacles and muscles also are clinging shellfish, though they are fixed in position and are unable to move position.
Is there anything you can do to remedy Clam Chowder that has curdled?
Yes. Throw it away.
If the chowder has separated during cooking or reheating you may be able to bring it back together by removing it from the heat and, using a fork, mixing in a small container a little slightly-cooled chowder with cornflour or rice flour (not ground rice). Return chowder to a gentle heat and slowly stir the flour mixture into the centre of the soup, whisking with the fork as you stir. If the chowder is coming together you can raise the heat, still stirring, until it looks good again. Serve immediately.
If you are using a commercially-prepared chowder, pour it into a container, cover when cool and keep it in the freezer until you're able to contact the customer help centre listed on the label. They'll know what to do and if the chowder can't be fixed they'll tell you how to avoid the problem next time. Meanwhile, if you have a cat or a dog, they'll help you dispose of the soup.

Describe how a sea star feeds on a clam?
It forces its stomach out, and sticks it inside of the clams shell. Then with the clam inside of the stomach, the starfish puts its stomach back on its inside. A sea star opens up a clam by attaching its hundreds of tube feet to the external surface of the shell with suction. Then, it pulls. It might have to pull for hours, or days, until the adductor muscle holding the shell firmly closed is finally weakened enough that the shell opens. Then the star fish can force its stomach in and digest the soft insides of the clam.
