Seastar eating an oyster

That's an awfully big meal. How's he going to fit that in him?

As it turned out he let this oyster go and went for a smaller one. The seastar pulls the oyster shell open, then its stomach comes out of its mouth and suckes out the oyster flesh and devoures it. Sounds disgusting eh. But it's actually pretty cool. One large oyster fills him up for a couple of days.

Interesting picture. I had a star fish once and it devoured my blue sponge.

I had many kinds of snails in the tank with my seastars. There are only two turban snails left and a few sand snails that hide in the substrate. The seastars have eaten about 20 snails. They do not seem interested in the hermit crabs or the little shore crabs. The seastars are awesome creatures. The big one is over 10 inches now.
