Sweet! A whole website about the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, with a photodatabase of cool things like invertebrates. I found it looking for info on Stylasterias forreri, the fish-eating star. Sadly no photos of the actual eating. But this is a sea star with extra long and pointy pedicellariae, used for snagging the unwary. After that I suppose they do the usual eversion of the stomach.
