They are about x100 smaller than regular plankton. You cant see them with a naked eye.

crabs
its not one. It is a primary consumer.
If the phytoplankton were to disappear, the fish wouldn't be the only ones in trouble. We depend on that stuff to put Oxygen back into the air.
Te bottom of the food chain would be phtoplankton which are really tiny organisms which are eaten by small fish to whales. Small fish are fed upon by bigger fish etc.
First, sunlight, or a source of energy, followed by producers. Each time the level moves up one, 90% of the energy is lost, which means it takes a lot more energy to sustain humans than it does trees, and therefore, there should be the most energy, then plants, the primary consumer, then secondary, etc.
Spanish hog fish eat phtoplankton, snails, crabs, lobster heads and even other dead fish. They are known to eat their own family. They are eaten by octopi (octopuses), dogfish, sharks, lobsters and other fish including their family

Water can appear to change color due to various reasons such as the presence of impurities, reflection of the surrounding environment, or the absorption and scattering of light. For example, water contaminated with algae can appear green, while deeper bodies of water may appear blue due to the way light is absorbed and scattered by the water molecules.
5 examples of producers in an ocean ecosystem include creatures like phytoplankton, seaweed, kelp, algae, and coral. These organisms are called producers because they make things that other animals need to keep the ecosystem thriving.
