Is a Coral a Decomposer?

Do fish consume corals as part of their diet?
No, fish do not typically consume corals as part of their diet. Fish usually feed on algae, plankton, and smaller organisms found in the water.
What are 3 different kinds of producers?
Primary producers, like plants and algae, produce energy through photosynthesis. Secondary producers, such as herbivores and omnivores, consume primary producers for energy. Tertiary producers, like carnivores, consume secondary producers for energy.
Are bacterias producers?

Differences between hermatypic and ahermatypic corals?
