The Emperor Angelfish also known as the Imperator Angelfish is usually found in most parts of the Indo- Central Pacific Ocean and in the warmer parts of the Red Sea. They live in areas with rich coral growth Young emperor angelfishes tend to live alone, hiding in reef holes and crevices. In some parts young emperor angelfishes frequent shrimp cleaning stations and would occasionally help shrimps pick off parasites and dead skin from a fish waiting to be cleaned. The emperor angelfish is a carnivore unlike most species of angelfish that are herbivores. Emperor angelfish eats coral heads, small invertebrates like sponges, and crustaceans such as shrimp and shellfish.
Adults tend to eat sea grass and algae. Green Sea Turtles who live in aquariums are fed romaine lettuce, gel food made from algae, and a balanced mixture of essential vitamins and minerals. Unlike regular turtles, a green sea turtle’s shell has evolved so that they can propel through waters at a great speed when needed. Their front flippers help them to do so, as well. A green sea turtle’s carapace has a mottled brown top with a creamy white color under its shell; which is often covered in algal growth.
It feeds on ectoparasites or dead tissue that it picks from the body and oral cavities/gills of these fish (e.g. ; Tangs or Groupers) in the wild or in the aquarium. This also helps to protect the fish from contracting diseases and infections. Many fish value its services so highly that they will allow it to clean the inside of their mouths, and not harm it. Some fish, though, such as Hawkfish, Lionfish, and some predatory shrimp and crabs may eat the Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp.
They will also eat grass clippings, mulch, foliage, stems, roots, and seedlings. Pill bugs prefer their food to be
Alligators and they get trapped within the hydrilla. Limpkins, because their primary food source, apple snails, are dying out in the Wakulla Springs ecosystem. Apple Snails and they are being battled because the hydrilla halts the snails as they ascend to the surface, so they drown. Some of the methods that have been used and that have failed are using dip nets, booms, hand pulling and mechanical harvesters The method that is being used now is putting herbicide within the spring. “Hydrilla was imported
They are also known to eat farm animals if they have to. Sometimes they will eat cattle straight from farmland. Fortunately, the Florida Panther is at the top of the food chain with very few natural predators. Their only real predators are adult alligators, which have been known to sometimes ambush the Florida Panther, and human beings. Humans are one of the main reasons that the Florida Panther is an endangered species.
Koalas have a very unusual diet that could kill other animals and are very tiny. Habitat Where do koalas live?. They inhabit Queensland and New Whales which are states in the Eastern part of Australia. They live in woodlands in Eucalyptus trees, and live and eat only from these trees. The number of koalas is determined by the number of trees.
Giraffes are herbivores, meaning they eat plants rather than meat. They use their long necks and tongues (which they can stick out up to a foot and a half!) to get to leaves on trees. Their favorite types of leaves are from the acacia tree. A typical full-grown adult giraffe will eat over 70 pounds of leaves, twigs, and fruit each day.
Olive Ridleys get their name from the coloring of their heart-shaped shell, which starts out gray but becomes olive green once the turtles are adult. Hatchlings are dark gray with a pale yolk scar, but appear all black when wet. Carapace length ranges from 37 to 50 mm. Olive Ridleys are omnivorous, meaning that they consume a varied diet from both plant and animal sources. Distribution Although Olive Ridleys spend time in the open ocean, they also forage in coastal waters and estuaries.Olive Ridley turtles are found only in warmer waters, including the southern Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.
