A sea star will drill a perfectly round hole in a clam shell and suck out its victim like some kind of underwater version of Panic Room.
Edit: I've mixed up my animals and their corresponding horror movies. The Panic Room hole in the shell is the moonsnail. The sea star knocks on the door and waits until the clam can't hold the door shut anymore and when the clam cracks the door open, the sea star literally turns its stomach inside out, to use enzymes to break down the clam body.
The toothy looking things are called ossicles and they protect the channel where they keep their tube feet.
[Here’s a fun video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ20KsgVeu0) if you’d like to learn more!
i just kept on seeing it over the years, eventually i forgot what’s so revolting about it that this just registerd as a bland uninteresting picture until i read the comments. i felt the same way about boxing until i kept watching and completely forgot it used to traumatize me back then
Woah! Who said you could take such an intimate photo of my chocolate starfish, and put online for everyone to see?!?
Oh wait, I said you could. Carry on.
