| Taking full advantage of the glut, the flower-like polyps of xenia soft corals pulsated as they fed on the zooplankton delivered by the currents. |
| The larvae spend several months as floating zooplankton before settling down onto the reef. |
| Young bluegills eat mainly zooplankton, but as they grow older, they become opportunistic and devour almost anything that fits into their mouths. |
| If preferred prey species are not present at these depths, lake trout may then resort to feeding on zooplankton and invertebrates. |
| When at sea, they eat zooplankton and other small creatures that rise to the surface at convergence zones. |
| These species are small-bodied, cold water species that are generalist feeders on planktivorous zooplankton and benthic organisms. |
