Most fish do not eat live coral as it is hard and not very nutritious. However, some fish, such as the butterflyfish and parrotfish, may nip at coral polyps or feed on coral mucus. These interactions typically do not harm the coral if kept in balance with the ecosystem.
Leather jacket fish are omnivorous, meaning they eat a variety of foods including small fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and algae. They may also scavenge for food in the ocean.
Parrotfish primarily feed on algae, coral, and small invertebrates. They use their beak-like teeth to scrape algae off rocks and coral, playing a vital role in maintaining the health of coral reefs.
No, butterfly fish do not typically eat sea anemones. They primarily feed on coral polyps, small crustaceans, and other invertebrates. While some fish may consume sea anemones, it is not a common part of the butterfly fish diet.
The correct name for this is an anus. Fish eat food and everything it does not digest passes through the digestive system and out through the anus. Some fish like parrot fish eat a lot of coral. They chew off chunks of coral and 'poo' out the calcium carbonate of the coral as a fine sand. The reason that tropical beaches have beautiful white sand is because fish like parrot fish have chewed up the coral and passed it out of the anus.
