This is no Peach, the cute starfish in ‘Finding Nemo.’ The crown-of-thorns starfish is so-named for the thorn-like venomous spines that cover its upper body. One of the largest starfish in the world, it eats hard coral, like the reefs here at Raja Ampat. Luckily, divers are working to reduce the starfish populations while not harming the surrounding ecosystem.
The correct answer is A starfish.
