"I think I catch your drift, Constable!" Albert Clam quickly spoke up. "Of course! Starry Starfish--what do YOU eat?"
"Me?" Starry said with surprise, "I am a VEGETARIAN, of course--so what?"
"You mean," Clam asked, "you don't eat coral Polyps?"
"Coral polyps? YUCK! Not on your life!" Starry said looking a little sick.
"Then, don't you see?" Clam smiled happily. "THAT is the solution to our problem!"
"No, I DON'T see! What ARE you getting at, Albert Clam?" Starry replied defensively.
"Only THIS, you thick starfish you!" Clam said, "We only have to convince the Crown of Thorns Starfish--and all his relatives--to become VEGETARIANS like you and our little coral reef will be SAVED--and their own reef--if there is anything left of it--will come back to life and even FLOURISH!"

Good finale but just for your information: starfish is not a vegetarian, they eat mollusks, clams, oysters, snails, plankton though some supplement their diet with algae. They are actually quite voracious predators.
