Lurking in the muddy depths is a venomous starfish that specializes in hunting soft-bodied prey. This is the Short-spined Crown-of-Thorns (Acanthaster brevispinus), the lesser-known but equally formidable cousin of the reef-devouring Crown-of-Thorns. How does this master of the silt hunt and survive?
Unlike its coral-eating relative, A. brevispinus prefers muddy and seagrass habitats where it preys on sea cucumbers and other soft-bodied animals. Its short, stout spines are just as venomous, making it a dangerous predator in its sandy domain.
