pacific seastars eat anything they can find on the ocean floor including scallops, clams, mussels and dead fish. at one point there was a huge erradication effort, many people took the sea stars out of the ocean, cut them into pieces an then threw them back into the sea. unfortunatly, every piece of seastar that was thrown into the water, grew a whole seastar and the populations are now booming. huge sums of money are spent every year in an effort to get rid of the spiny creatures, but, so far not much has been sucessful in ridding them from the southern australian waters.
