a sea star catches food, by going up to its prey, using its suction cups to open the food up, and the sea star then pushes its stomach out of its mouth, and on to the food and chemicals from the sea stars mouth then kill the food, and the sea star rips the food from its shell, and digests it

Jellyfish capture their food by paralyzing them using the nematycysts located in their tentacles that dangle off the bell. Some may paralyze them and digest them while still alive, others use venom that shut down the respiratory systems within their prey.

a sea star uses its tube feet to slowly move its food to bring it into its stomach- which is in the middle of its body- so it can digest it.

Do they tube feed you at remuda ranch?

Yes, they do. BUT NOT without your permission. My daughter was tube feed until she reached her target weight. She ate normal size meal during the day, and was given additional nourishment while she slept via the tube. It is a whole lot better than having her eat 3600 calories a day to gain weight. The additional benefit is that the patient gets use to eating normal size meals throughout treatment.
