Moray eels are typically considered secondary consumers in their marine ecosystems. They primarily feed on smaller fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates, which are primary consumers. By preying on these organisms, moray eels occupy a higher trophic level, contributing to the balance of their underwater food webs.
What else can I help you with?
What is the correct order of trophic levels?
primary consumers -->secondary consumers -->tertiary consumers
What are primary secondary and tertiary consumers in the tropical rain forest?
Well, hello there, friend! In the tropical rainforest, primary consumers are plant-eaters like insects and monkeys. Secondary consumers are animals that eat the primary consumers, such as snakes and birds. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain and they eat the secondary consumers, like jaguars and eagles. Each one plays a vital role in keeping the delicate balance of the rainforest ecosystem. Isn't nature just amazing?

Omnivore is a secondary (2nd order) consumer. This is because primary consumer must only be plant eaters. Although omnivore consume plants, they also eat meat.Here is the order of the food chain (hope it helps):1) SUN (ultimate source of energy)2) PRODUCERS (plants - autotrophs: can make their own food using photosynthesis)3) PRIMARY/1ST ORDER CONSUMER (herbivours - only eat plants)4) SECONDARY/2ND ORDER CONSUMER(carnivours/omnivores)5) DECOMPOSERS (bacteria, worms, fungi etc breaks down dead organisms as food and return nutrients to soil)
