Sunfish, particularly the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), are classified as primary consumers due to their diet primarily consisting of jellyfish, which are abundant in their marine environment. While they may occasionally consume other soft-bodied marine organisms, they primarily feed on these gelatinous animals. Sunfish play a crucial role in the marine ecosystem by helping to control jellyfish populations.
