Diet
The Pentaceraster cumingi primarily feeds by scavenging and through a carnivorous diet. Their diet consists of benthic algae found on the ocean floor, microscopic organisms, and seagrass. On occasion, the Pentaceraster cumingi has been known to eat other echinoderms.

Reproduction
The Pentaceraster cumingi is able to reduce sexually because they are gonochoric (have separate sexes). The Pentaceraster cumingi also reproduces asexually by splitting its central disc, a process called fission, which results in a clonal offspring.
