W93b # 1.2
This Starfish display is absolutely beautiful and showcases a Blackfaced Rabbit fish! This would look good anywhere you choose to display! He is displayed nicely in a shadow box grey frame with an ocean blue back round and along with some "seaweed" and driftwood. A few thorns might be broken off in shipping or when handling, just open the front of the display and they will fall right out, it will be nothing that will hurt the looks of the display and is a natural occurrence with something like this. This display is approx. 9 x 7 x 2 3/4".
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.
