Causes of Climate Change. Climate change is a long-term shift in weather conditions identified by changes in temperature, precipitation, winds, and other indicators.
Answer by Marcin Wojtkowski. Confidence votes 167. Most sea star (starfish) species are generalist predators, some eating bivalves like mussels, clams, and oysters; or any animal slow enough to be unable to evade the attack (e.g. dying fish). Some species are detritivores, eating decomposed animal and plant material, or organic films attached to substrate.
There are approximately 1,500 species of starfish found throughout the world, all of which are abundant at most ocean depths. All starfish species use a mouth located on the underside of their body to feed on ocean-bottom debris, as well as on mussels and clams. Occasionally, when the starfish encounters larger prey, it will force its stomach out through its mouth and digest the prey outside of its body.
