Oreaster reticulatus (L.) (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) and interpopulation differences in reproductive capacity. 54: 39 - 54. Scheibling, R. E. (1982). Bulletin of Marine Science. Feeding Habits of Oreaster reticulatus (Echinodermata: Asteroidea). 32: 504 - 510. Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce. (2008). Oreaster reticulatus. To identify the main predators of sponges, and their principal prey, in two localities from the Sea of Cortez, stomach contents from 13 species of fishes, 23 species of opisthobranchs, and 4 species of echinoderms were analyzed. Predation is one of the most important structuring mechanisms of benthic communities. The objectives of this study were to identify the main predators of sponges, and Oreaster reticulatus.

The common Caribbean starfish Oreaster reticulatus (Linnaeus) feeds on sponges by everting its stomach onto a sponge and digesting the tissue, leaving behind the sponge skeleton. In the San Blas Islands, Republic of Panama, 54.2% of the 1549 starfish examined from February 1987 to June 1990 at eight sites were feeding, and 61.4% of these were feeding on sponges, representing 51 species Furthermore, we observed Oreaster reticulatus climbing on 1% healthy and 27% SCTLD P. strigosa colonies in Samaná. We conclude that SCTLD is a serious problem in DR, producing rapid loss of coral Oreaster reticulatus, commonly known as the red cushion sea star or the West Indian sea star, is a species of marine invertebrate, a starfish in the family Oreasteridae. It is found in shallow water in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Di. Diurnal.
