Acanthaster is a bitypic genus of large and venomous starfish placed in its own family, Acanthasteridae. Its two members are known as crown-of-thorns starfish.

Species

These species are listed in the World Register of Marine Species:[1]

  • Acanthaster brevispinus Fisher, 1917
  • Acanthaster planci (Linnaeus, 1758)

Some sources add Acanthaster ellisi, (Gray, 1840) but it is now considered as a subspecies of A. planci in the eastern Pacific. {{cn|date=February 2018}}

Recent molecular work has suggested that Acanthaster planci is a species complex of up to 4 different species that have yet to be separately described (Vogler et. al., 2008).
