A Mid-Level Consumer In The Florida Reef

   While visiting the Florida Reef, we observed the different levels in the food web of the reef. After studying it for awhile, we came to the conclusion of about three different levels in this web. The first level are the producers. It is basically just the phytoplankton on the ocean's surface. The next level is the  primary consumers, which is the coral, sea turtles, and fish. Finally, the last level is the secondary consumers. These include sharks, star fish, barracuda, jelly fish, sea snakes, and sea slugs.
