The nature of a starfish: 'a disembodied head walking about on its lips'

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/03/the-nature-of-a-starfish-a-disembodied-head-walking-about-on-its-lips

Excellent and fun(?) article with lots of stuff I didn't know.
The thing about starfish is that you tend to forget the -fish part. But when you think about that, a lot of things come into focus. For example, the fact that besides its underwater life, it is nothing like a fish. For example: a starfish can push its stomach out of its mouth and eat the inside of a clam. Show me a fish that can do that.
