Talk:Acanthaster brevispinus

Birthday

The date of first description of the species is given here as "1941" whereas at the page "Acanthaster" it is 1917. Where is the error ? FredD (talk) 08:08, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I can answer this one: it's 1917. I've edited the taxobox here. Melchoir (talk) 08:31, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the day

A short-spined crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster brevispinus) photographed at Malapascuas Island, Philippines. One of the two members of the starfish genus Acanthaster, this species was first described by the American zoologist Walter Kenrick Fisher from a specimen collected off Sirun Island. A. brevispinus is thought to be widely distributed, with specimens collected in the Philippines, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Seychelles.Photograph: Matt Kieffer
