Species Name and fun facts:  Acanthaster Planci (crown of thorns) 

The crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, is a large, multiple-armed starfish that usually preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia). The crown-of-thorns starfish receives its name from venomous thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface, resembling the biblical crown of thorns. It is one of the largest starfish in the world.
A. planci has a very wide Indo-Pacific distribution. It is perhaps most common in Australia, but can occur at tropical and subtropical latitudes from the Red Sea and the east African coast across the Indian Ocean, and across the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of Central America. It occurs where coral reefs or hard coral communities occur in this region.

These can also acquire a fishy smell from being packed up, this will go away in a few weeks.  You may also put it in the freezer for a night or two and some of the time that will get rid of it as well and a little Frebreeze never hurts and doesn't damage your display.
