I hate to ask... But would that even feel good for the sponge? Would that even feel like anything? From what we can see, there's nothing in there. The starfish's fingers aren't stimulating anything; they're just waggling in the air inside the sponge.

Beyond simply the stretching of the hole, I can't see the sponge really getting anything out of this act. And the most I can see it doing for the starfish is providing a convenient carry handle with which he can bring his friend with him wherever he goes - which is neat but the sponge also walks so it feels unnecessary.

Unless either or both parties involved get off on the more cerebral aspects here?

I am not an expert on digital stimulation of sponges, though, so I am totally open to being wrong here!

Maybe there's nerves on the rim of the hole.

Interesting, you might be right. If that's the case, though - and I don't have any sort of formal education in fingering so this is a layman's perspective - it looks like the starfish is misplacing his fingers.

Surely the starfish would find it more effective to use the more nimble and dexterous tips of its fingers to touch those sensitive nerves around the rim, rather than the middle of its digits which are much harder to apply directed pressure with? It's also harder to control how much pressure one applies through the middle of the digit as opposed to the fingertip, although I recognise my frame of reference is human fingers and not starfish fingers.
