皇冠棘冠海星在泰国安达曼海捕食硬珊瑚

f thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) feeds on hard coral tissue, driving coral predation and reef degradation on an Andaman Sea reef. It extrudes its stomach onto the coral surface, digesting living tissue externally and leaving an exposed white skeleton behind. Outbreaks of this species rank among the most significant threats to Indo-Pacific reef ecology, alongside bleaching and ocean acidification. 4K, wide angle, vertical, high angle medium shot, scuba diver POV.
