The Gate Barrier Reef

The Gate Barrier Reef



 The Gate Barrier Reef, a coral reef off the coast of Australia, is home to thousands of species of fish of all colors, shapes, and colors.  One of these is the fish, the Bluffin Tuvalli.  So many of these species Is a powerful predator.  Even though they are very large, they go out to hunt in flocks.  These fish keep running to make swarms.  There is also a fish called Silver Beetfish.  The scales on her body are like a mirror Shines.  That's why it looks like silver.  If all the fish are floating together, it is not known which fish is in which shape.  So these fish survive their predators.  The prey is the mackerel shark.  He doesn't even see these fish.  Only shining dots are visible.  All these fish grow on coral reefs.  Vegetation.  Mollusks etc. go healthy.

If there are thousands of species of fish in this area and most of them are vegetarians, then it would be a surprise if the predators are not attracted here.  One such fish is Ring Ray.  He also detects the heartbeat of the creatures beating in the soft sand below.  He then keeps his mouth under the sand to suck it and then eats the prey and throws it out.  If it senses a slight movement, it melts into the sand and freezes.  Yet hammerhead sharks can easily prey on them with their hammer-like mouths.
