No, a cowfish is not a primary consumer; it is considered a secondary consumer. Primary consumers are typically herbivores that feed directly on producers like plants and algae. Cowfish, on the other hand, mainly feed on small invertebrates and other marine organisms, placing them higher in the food chain.
Primary consumer would be a cow that ate grass, secondary consumer would be the lion that ate the cow that ate the grass. Primary consumer is the fish that eats algae, secondary consumer is the barracuda that eats the fish that ate the algae. It expands to tertiary consumers as well, which would be the shark that ate the barracuda that ate the fish that ate the algae.

Not exactly: you are confusing the terms used in food chains and food webs. A cow's diet is considered herbivorous, whereas the cow itself is a primary consumer because it eats only plants. In other words, the cow herself is deemed a primary consumer, and her diet is herbivorous.
