Today in class, we learned about butterfly fish eating coral, invertebrates, and squid. The butterfly fish eat polups on coral, which break down the coral which are home to some fish such as the clown fish. Invertebrates are organisms that do not have a spinal column, and they play a major role in the ocean. Squid are invertebrates in the ocean that have tentacles and suction cups to catch prey. They also use an ink pen and camoflage to hide from their predators. All of these topics play into marine biology because inhanced knowledge in these organisms will help us understand their behaviors in the British Virgin Islands.
