Culcita schmideliana or spiny cushion star in low tide sea among sea grass at sumbawa indonesia. This place still has a small number of tourist. Locals mostly go there to look for food. Sadly there are a lot of dead coral because allegedly some people violate the rules by using some kind of poison(?) (Not sure what kind) to fish. But it was long time ago and the effect still there. Now the local are more active and strict to protect the environment. There are also some group that trying to cultivate it back. That area has nice weather, not too hot, like other places near sea, clear water and nice people.
