EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the destructive nature of a crown of thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, as it feeds on a vibrant coral reef. The image showcases the devastating impact caused by this individual starfish, evident in the white dead patches that now mar the once thriving ecosystem. Taken at Tomokomafatu in the remote and breathtaking Halmahera region of Maluku Islands, Indonesia, this photograph offers a glimpse into the world of zoology and marine biology. The starfish's voracious appetite is clearly depicted as it devours hard corals with its blue crown of thorns. This invertebrate creature belongs to the acanthasteridae family and goes by various names such as acanthaster or simply starfish. Its actions highlight both its predatory behavior and its ability to cause significant harm to delicate underwater ecosystems. The tropical beauty surrounding this scene serves as a stark contrast to the destruction unfolding beneath the surface. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected our planet's ecosystems are and emphasizes the importance of preserving these fragile environments for future generations. Photographed by Scubazoo for Science Photo Library, this image provides an opportunity for us to reflect on humanity's role in protecting our oceans from such devastation while appreciating their awe-inspiring biodiversity.
