Starfish or sea stars are able to turn their stomachs inside out, the extended stomach hangs outside and engulfs food, partially digesting it. Thus it can feed on food larger than its mouth could handle.
Eventually, it and the food it is working on, is sucked or pulled back inside their body. The partially digested food then is passed along to a second stomach that completes the digestive process. They can also use their tube feet to open shells of calms and etc........
they also have a disaese called listen to yo teacher better OK.
The mouth and stomach of the starfish face towards the surface it's resting on. When the starfish finds a prey, it actually pushes its stomach outside of its mouth and the stomach eats the prey whole. Then it swallows its stomach.

Starfish eat mollusks. When they find their dinner, they use their arms to break open the shell. After that, they extrude their stomachs out of their body and swallow the shellfish whole.
Starfish eat their food by turning there stomachs inside out and leaving the food there until digested.
Other fish can pull out the spines one at a time and then crack the shell from underneath.
"Sea Monkey" is a fancifull name given to a type of shrimp that is commonly used by many fish breeders to feed to their young fish. Artemia salina was researched and developed/modified by scientists in America which now makes it slightly larger than the natural species and also adds "nyos" to its name making it Artemia salina nyos. They feed on tiny algae and yeasts which they catch with their tiny front legs/claws and stuff/fan into their mouths. To watch them eating use a good magnifying glass.
Starfish have a relatively broad range of diets, but are mostly carnivorous, preying on a wide variety of prey items from clams, to corals, to fish. Urchins are mostly herbivorous, feeding on marine algaes.
Both have their mouths (oral surface) at the bottom of their bodies. However, a sea urchin has teeth called aristotles lantern that scrapes algae off rocks, while a sea star ejects it stomach around the contents of its food to digest its prey.
