Sunflower star has weird way of eating

A sunflower star can have up to 26 arms and 15,000 tube feet, which it can use to pry open a clam. The sunflower star then pushes its stomach out of its mouth and into the clam, digesting the hapless bivalve in its own shell.

The sunflower star is the largest sea star in the world. It's also one of the fastest animals on the ocean bottom, crawling one metre... a minute, which may not seem that fast to us but is speedy if you're a clam just chillin' on the sand.

"Observe how the hungry sea star ejects his own stomach from his body in order to eat his meal"
-French Narrator, From the episode "Feral Friends" from Spongebob Squarepants

"Do you know how sea stars feed, Spongebob?"

I came here from a spongebob episode where it showed the starfish taking out its stomach to eat seaweed

Do you know how star fish feed, SpongeBob? Let me... Show you! Our stomachs extend from our bodys, petartating our pray, and enjenting them with enzymes, so they may be digested externally. I'm sorry, Spongebob.
