What are some invasive species in the coral reef?

Invasive species in coral reefs include the lionfish (Pterois volitans), which preys on native fish and competes for resources, leading to significant ecological imbalance. Another example is the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci), which can devastate coral populations by consuming large amounts of coral tissue. Additionally, certain algae species, like the Caulerpa taxifolia, can overgrow and suffocate corals, disrupting the delicate reef ecosystem. Managing these invasives is crucial for the health and resilience of coral reefs.
