These plankton are microscopic organisms that make their own food using light from the sun.

Barnacles feed by filtering the water for microscopic organisms using their tiny feather-like appendages which they stick out from their shells.

Starfish prey on shelled organisms called mollusks, by prying them open with their tube feet

Sharks are the top predators of coral reefs.

This diatom is a single-celled organism that uses light from the sun to make its own food.

Sea anemones are filter feeders that eat anything they can catch. This includes organisms with shells (mollusks) and even some small fish.

Small fish eat small, shelled organisms (mollusks) that they can catch and smaller fish. Very small fish eat plankton.

Lionfish are native to the Indian ocean but are a big problem in where they are invasive. They eat small fish, invertebrates, and shelled organisms (mollusks).

Moray eels are ambush predators that eat smaller fish, crabs, and octopuses. They have even been known to eat lionfish, even though the lionfish has poisonous spikes.

Arrange the organisms below into a food web

Note: Your food web may look a little different, that is fine. Make sure that you generally put things in the right place and that you do not have any backwards relationships. For example, make sure that you do not have a starfish eating a shark.
