The food web starts with the sun, which is used in photosynthesis by the producers-also known as plants. Herbivores eat the producers. These herbivores get eaten by both omnivores and carnivores alike. Most omnivores, along with the carnivores will get eaten by the top predator. When any of these animals die, the decomposer eat them and recycle the matter back into the ecosystem.
The Producers that get eaten most often at Apo Reef are algae and Sea lettuce. Some herbivores at Apo Reef are zooplankton, sea urchins, and small fish. Some omnivores are sponges, whale sharks, Hawksbill Sea Turtles, and crabs. Some carnivores are Squirrel fish, Wrasse, and Risso's Dolphin. The top predators of Apo Reef are sharks. Some decomposers of Apo Reef are sea cucumbers, sea slugs, and Christmas Tree Worms.
Hawksbill Sea Turtles and Risso's Dolphins are not normally food for sharks, but sharks are very capable of eating them.
