  1. Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster) · affects · Great Barrier Reef

    Crown-of-thorns predation was attributed forty-two per cent of the coral cover loss recorded on Great Barrier Reef monitoring sites between 1985 and 2012.

  2. Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster) · preys_on · Reef-building corals (Scleractinia)

    The starfish everts its stomach over living coral and digests the tissue off the skeleton; at outbreak densities a reef can lose most of its living cover in a few years.
