This print showcases the beauty of a Granulated seastar (Choriaster granulatus) gracefully perched on vibrant coral. With its intricate patterns and striking colors, this starfish is a true marvel of nature. Found in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, from east Africa to the western Pacific Ocean, it thrives in both coral reefs and sandy bottoms. Measuring up to 25 centimeters in diameter, this predatory creature feeds on detritus and dead animals that lie scattered across the sea floor. Its presence adds an element of wonder to the underwater ecosystem as it navigates through its surroundings with elegance and grace. Photographed against the backdrop of crystal-clear waters in the Maldives, this image captures not only the essence of marine biology but also highlights the fragile beauty found beneath our oceans' surfaces. The Indian Ocean serves as a stunning canvas for showcasing these fascinating creatures that call it home. The Granulated seastar's unique characteristics make it an important player within its habitat. As one among many echinoderms thriving in these tropical waters, it contributes to maintaining balance within this delicate ecosystem. This photograph by Georgette Douwma from Science Photo Library invites viewers into a world teeming with life and offers a glimpse into the wonders hidden beneath ocean waves—a reminder of how precious our planet's biodiversity truly is.
