Starfish having a snack

Asteria rubens (Starfish) eating Lacuna vincta (baby seaslugs) swimming by.
My more or less new discovery: Starfish normally turn arround if you throw them on their backs. But if food is swimming by above them, they will just stay where they are and do some nomnomnom. Maybe they are not as dumb as we expected them to be!
If this is worth a publication, write me or at least mention me ;D
