The answer my friend is the Pacific Sunstar. These starfish are kind of the Great White of starfish kind. They feed with the amazing ability of expunging their stomaches, which then digest food outside of its body. This is very useful for eating clams, kind of making a clam chowder in within the clam itself. The animals are also scavengers, and use sensory organs on the tips of their arms to smell for carrier on the ocean floor.
This sunstar found a red Irish Lord (a fish) to eat for lunch. I came up just as he was getting the meal in order. A very cool find, and good GoPro juice.
