raveneuse:The Crown-of-Thorns Sea Star, Acanthaster planci“[…] is a large, multiple-armed starfish (or sea star) that usually preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia). The crown-of-thorns sea star receives its name from venomous thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface, resembling the Biblical crown of thorns. It is one of the largest sea stars in the world.” -- source link
