I just bought a serpant starfish, and I've been feeding it chunks of king grab. Today when I fed my tank, the starfish got ahold of a chunk of my home made food. It spat out the crab meat (which was still whole) and put the new food into its mouth.
How do starfish eat? Do they put the food into the mouth, and enzymes break the food down, or does the food just sit in the mouth cavity and the star absorbes the nutrients? Is it wierd what my star did? Also how do you know if your star is healthy? What do you guys feed your stars? Any other tips?
