The mouth and bottom are located at opposite ends of the body. The mouth is surrounded by tentacles that capture plankton and organic matter. They also can use their tentacles to direct food towards the mouth. In addition, they can sit in a current and hold out their tentacles to filter food from the water. Behind the mouth is the Pharynx, which opens up to lead to the stomach.
The food is passed through the pharynx, sometimes to an esophagus first, to the stomach. In the stomach, the food is broken down into essential nutrients. Then, the waste product is sent through the long coiling intestine, which loops through the body, and out of the system through the anus.
