  • Leyend: A sea star also uses its tube feet to feed on sediments, bivalves, fish and even other sea stars! These active scavengers are found on both sandy bottoms and rocky reefs. The blood star (Henricia leviuscula) is particularly fond of rocks encrusted with sponges and bryozoans and can live as deep as 400 meters (1312 feet)!
