🦤🌐🧪 Feeding trials with cushion sea stars in Hawaiʻi revealed key foraging ecology insights, showing a clear prey hierarchy and strong preference for Pocillopora corals, a pioneer species already vulnerable to other anthropogenic stressors. #CoralReef bit.ly/meps15157 @daniescontrela.bsky.social

A cushion sea star sits atop a fragment of cauliflower coral (Pocillopora meandrina) inside an experimental cage. The cauliflower coral is zip-tied to the bottom of the cage, and its skeleton appears white, presumably from consumption by the cushion sea star.
