The northern Pacific sea star primarily feeds on bivalves, such as clams and mussels, as well as other invertebrates like snails and barnacles. It uses its tube feet to pry open the shells of its prey and then extrudes its stomach to digest the food externally. This feeding method allows it to consume larger prey than its mouth would typically accommodate. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of its marine ecosystem by controlling the populations of its prey species.
