The ones below show it eating seaweed. They have two stomachs - one for digesting and the other can be used to reach out and grab and then digest it's food. I read with some star fish, they use their vascular system to open the shell of something like a clam and then inject their stomach into the shell to eat it.

Hi S & S,
I studied these in biology but I've never seen such gorgeous photos of them. Well done!
these photos are great...you taught me something this morning.
Nicole, Lynne & Darla - Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great photos Miss Saxy. I have never seen as detailed as these pictures. I only see the starfish on the shores and never paid any attention.
More unbelievable shots! Excellent captures!

Incredible photos! I was kind of afraid digesting would be icky, but these are so pretty!! Sort of filmy!
And no, I never thought about how they ate, either!
Very nicely done -- and of course I'm charmed that you are learning about some ocean critters. ;-)
