A Moorish idol is a consumer, specifically an herbivorous fish that primarily feeds on coral polyps and algae. As a part of the reef ecosystem, it plays a role in controlling algae growth and contributing to the overall health of coral reefs. Decomposers, on the other hand, break down dead organic material, which is not the role of the Moorish idol.
