Acanthaster planci, commonly known as the crown-of-thorns starfish, is a large, multiple-armed starfish (or seastar) that usually preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia).

The larvae were reared according to the methods employed for A. planci and developed through the typical larval stages of bipinaria and brachiolaria (see Life-cycle of Acanthaster planci).

There are, however, a small number of predatory species perhaps the most well known being the Crown of Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster planci ) which has caused massive damage to many of the world's reefs.

Like Acanthaster planci, however, its distinctive traits include being disc-shaped, multi-armed with multiple madreporites (see Starfish), flexible, prehensile and densely spined, and having a large ratio of stomach surface to body mass.

Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) is the major predator of the reefs, as it preys upon coral polyps by climbing onto them, extruding its stomach over them, and releasing digestive enzymes to absorb the liquefied tissue.

On the Great Barrier Reef, an unexplained increase in the numbers of crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci), which graze on living coral tissue, has had considerable impact on coral mortality and coal reef biodiversity.

The tropical crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) is a voracious predator of coral throughout the Indo-Pacific region, and the northern Pacific sea star is considered to be one of the world's 100 worst invasive species.
