The crown of thorns starfish is primarily preyed upon by the giant triton snail, which is its most significant natural predator. Other potential predators include certain species of fish, such as the pufferfish and some sea turtles, but their impact on crown of thorns populations is minimal compared to the giant triton. Additionally, certain species of crabs and sea urchins may also feed on them, although they are less effective. Overall, the giant triton plays a crucial role in controlling crown of thorns starfish populations in coral reef ecosystems.
Algae are in a symbiotic relationship with coral.Parrotfish, butterfly fish, angelfish, sea slugs, snails, worms and the crown-of-thorns starfish all eat coral.
A cross and a crown of thorns a small fish
yes it does, it can eat something that doesn't usually belong to them as the fish has no taste what so ever! when the fish then keeps causing dramas the makes other fish hungary and eager to eat something.
the crown of thorns fish eat the coral reefs
No, there are not any whales in Black Sea.
A large fish called the Maori Wrass (which also eats Crown-of-Thorns Starfish), as well as large Hermit Crabs and Octopus can eat adult Giant Triton Shells.
The coral reefs off Australia and Thailand demonstrate the complexity of this problem. Apparently, excess nutrients there resulted in the growth of plants favored by the crown-of-thorns starfish. That species proliferated. This starfish also eats coral in very high amounts. Obviously a large number of them can destroy a reef in a relatively short time span. Algae are in a symbiotic relationship with coral. Parrotfish, butterfly fish, angelfish, sea slugs, snails, worms and the crown-of-thorns starfish all eat corals. members of the scaridae family of fish, carracterised by grinding pharyngeal jaws and a distinctly shaped head, eat algae off the coral on coral reefs, and certain species actually bite the coral and grind it up to consume the plant based algae within the coral, other species scrape the coral off the outside. there are many species of this family within coral reefs, examples include the brightly coloured parrot fish and massive buffalo fish
Yes, the crown-of-thorns starfish is considered an omnivore, primarily feeding on coral polyps, which are the small organisms that make up coral reefs. While its diet mainly consists of coral, it can also consume other organic material found in its environment. This feeding behavior can lead to significant impacts on coral reef health, as large populations can cause coral degradation.
no, starfish aren't poisonous. Seth is wrong.
