Crown-of-Thorns Starfish
Spiky Menace
The crown-of-thorns starfish looks like a beautiful yet dangerous piece of living coral, covered in long, venomous spines. This spiky menace feeds on coral, and its population explosions can devastate entire reefs. It’s the ocean’s equivalent of a beautiful but deadly garden invader.
Reef Destroyer
With its venomous spines and voracious appetite, the crown-of-thorns starfish can cause significant damage to coral reefs. Each starfish can consume large amounts of coral, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Imagine a garden covered in roses that bite back—that’s the crown-of-thorns starfish.
