System Integration
Each of the sea star's legs has it's own primary nerve that allows it to think for itself. This allows for faster response to environment. This also allows for more efficiency when searching for prey. When it finds prey another system helps it. The cardiac stomach folds out to ingests it's pray. These two systems work together to allow the star fish to be nourished and have the energy to survive to reproduce.

What are the two systems? So the problem is obtaining energy? What is the sense that the nerve relays back? Is it chemosensitive? Smell? Sight?
