Predator of the Great Barrier Reef on Discover HD

Just finished watching Predators of the Great Barrier Reef on Discover HD that dealt mainly with the Crown of Thorns starfish eating and killing a lot of the hard corals on the reef. The Crown of Thorns is reproducing so fast that damaged areas of the reef are not being given enough time to recover before the next starfish comes and eats more of them. Pretty neat the way they eat. They get on the coral then expel their stomachs outside their body. The stomach then wraps itself around the coral branch and dissolves the outer flesh of the coral. If you get a chance to watch this program do so as the photography is exceptional especially in high def.
