I was home from work today and saw a Documentary on Great Barrier Reef on Discovery with the topic of Predators for the reef. It was pretty good. Main topic was the Crown of thorns starfish and how they are destroying all the hard corals and not giving them enough time to regenerate. Has anyone else seen it?
 
Good show. Interesting how they determined the high survival rate of the juv. stars in algae rich waters. Also interesting how COT stars are good in that they mow down faster growing species of corals to make room for slower species.
 
Yeah I watched it too. Kept my attention. I'd hate to go around all day and shoot poison into each part of a starfish though. That job sucks!
