The body shape of the starfish of thorns is basically the same as the shape of a typical starfish, with a central disc and radiating arms. However, its special properties include disk-shaped, multi-arms, flexible, flexible, and thorny, and has a large ratio of the surface of the stomach to body mass. The preensile ability arises from two rows of tube legs that extend to the ends of each arm. In being multi-weapon, he has lost the fivefold symmetry (pentamerism) typical of starfish, even though he began his life cycle with this symmetry. The animal has a vision of forming a true image. Adult star spines usually measure 25 to 35 cm (9.8 to 13.8 in). They have up to 23 arms. Although the body of the crown of thorns has a stiff appearance, it is able to bend and twist to fit around the contour of the reef where it eats. The bottom of each arm has a series of plates that form a groove and extend in rows to the mouth.
They are usually from soft colors, pale brown to gray-green, but they may be tacky with bright warning colors in some parts of their broad range.
The long, sharp thorn on the side of the starfish arm and the aboral surface resembles a thorn and forms a crown-like shape, giving the creature a name. The thorns are stiff and very sharp, and are ready to penetrate soft surfaces. Although there are sharp spines on the aboral surface and blunt spines on the surface of the mouth, the common surface of the starfish is the membrane and soft. When a starfish is released from water, the surface of the body breaks and body fluids leak, causing the body to collapse and flatten. The thorns bend and flatten too. They recover their shape when reimmersed, if they are still alive

"Until now, the effort that we continue to do is the removal of sea centipedes that threaten coral damage, and we continue to do that. For the last three years we have been lifting sea centipedes. And currently there is the Togean Islands Conservation Foundation (YKKT), which is chaired by Stevany, a Scottish citizen, together with us, continues to clean the sea centipedes, "explained Bustang. Bustang said again, there are a number of points that are currently still the focus to lift the sea centipede. Namely the island of Una Una, Kadidiri and surrounding areas and currently on the island of Papan there are about 2000 sea centipede that was successfully removed. Bustang continued, sea centipede is still a frightening specter, because the damage caused by sea centipede is very high, then bombs, anesthesia, garbage. He also hoped that the collaboration carried out such as the mili stevani foundation. "So that our hope to grow this coral can be guaranteed and well preserved in the future," he said again.
