The eating methods of starfish are as follows:

1. The eating process of starfish is quite interesting. Their tentacles can be regarded as their teeth and play an important role in the process of eating.

2. Specifically, starfish will stand still before encountering prey. When they encounter prey, they will suddenly grab it with their tentacles to prevent them from escaping.

3. If you encounter shellfish, the starfish’s tentacles will peel off the shell. Afterwards, the starfish will extend their stomach pouches to wrap up the prey, which is considered to be eating them. Next comes digestion, during which digestive enzymes are secreted.

4. In this process, because starfish are relatively slow and cannot be as agile as other agile fish, they generally use a roundabout way. If you observe starfish carefully, you may observe their interesting feeding process.

What do starfish feed on?

1. The types of animals they can eat are relatively small, because they cannot hunt as quickly as fast fish. Generally speaking, they prey on slower-moving animals, such as shellfish, crabs, sea urchins, etc.

2. Shellfish and other animals have relatively hard shells. At this time, the starfish's tentacles will work, opening the shell and eating only the meat inside. Although starfish are not particularly large, their tentacles are very powerful.
