The Crown of Thorns starfish feed on coral tissue and can destroy entire coral structures, making way for algae or new coral polyps to settle, as it is seen eating Acropora here. This film was created during the Living Oceans Foundation's Farasan Islands Expedition, May 11, 2006.

It's kind of cute the way it curls up into a ball when turned over! Probably not so cute if you come into contact with one of its spines...

Tabloid922 you are so rude...
I think this is a very informative video. In fact, I published it on my blog talking about the crown-of-thorns starfish!
Thanks for this information!
