coral reefs

(Acanthaster planci)





Coral reefs take millions of years to form. Unfortunately, this simple sea creatures died from direct effects of global warming and pollution without control.

This condition is exacerbated by the presence of natural enemies, the crown of thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci).

Starfish is easily found on coral reefs in tropical waters in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Starfish is capable of growing from the size of the palm to the plate size.

Marine life, it only needs a little food and can survive for long periods. Marine life is also taking a source of food composition and the resulting sea coral reefs off. This type of starfish, if not controlled may cause imbalance in the ecosystem, thereby providing long-term adverse effects to humans.
