Fact of the Day: Starfish primarily eat mollusks like oysters and clams, and they eat them in a disturbing way. First, the starfish uses its suction-cupped feet to open the mollusk. Then, the starfish ejects its stomach through its mouth, and the stomach's digestive juices break down the inside of the shellfish. Lastly, the starfish sucks the stomach back into its mouth with the mollusk meat, providing it with a meal.
