they would be consumers because they are actually eating miniature plants that grow on the inside of tanks.
No, barnacles are not producers. They are filter-feeders that consume small particles from the water to obtain their nutrients. Producers are typically plants or algae that can photosynthesize to create their own food.
Consumers, they eat detritus/decaying material for the most part.
Corals are both producers (they have symbiotic plants living in them) and consumers (herbivores/carnivores) as they filter feed on plankton.
Yes, sponges are filter feeders. I also believe they were the first filter feeders.
No, a clam is not a primary consumer. Clams are filter feeders that primarily consume phytoplankton and other microscopic organisms, making them secondary consumers in the food chain. Primary consumers are organisms that consume producers, such as plants or algae, directly.
Clams are filter feeders because they filter stuff.
animals are consumers and plants are producers.
No, filter feeders in general do not have teeth. Piranha do not filter their food.
