Common Starfish
Asterias rubens
Common starfish inhabit rocky shores, tide pools, and shallow seabeds across the northeast Atlantic. They use hundreds of tube feet to crawl over the bottom and pull apart bivalve shells. Their stomach can be everted into partly opened prey, allowing digestion outside the body.
