Table 3. Affiliation of fishes from the Jordanian Red Sea coast to trophic groups based on Khalaf & Disi (1997) and on field observations. C = corallivore, D = detritivore, H = herbivore (feeds on macroalgae; Scaridae: H/C), IF = invertebrate feeder (feeds on benthic invertebrates, but not corals), IFF = invertebrate-and-fish-feeder (feeds on Mar EcolProg Ser241:306 benthic invertevrates and fish, but not corals), O = omnivore, Pi = piscivore, Pl = planktivore. –: trophic group not known Species Trophic group Species Trophic group Species Trophic group Species Trophic group Torpedinidae Pseudochromidae Pempheridae Labridae (continued) Torpedo panthera IFF Pseudochromis flavivertex O Pempheris vanicolensis IFF A. twistii IF Muraenidae P. fridmani O Chaetodontidae Bodianus anthioides IF Gymnothorax nudivomer IFF P. olivaceus O Chaetodon auriga O B. axillaris IF Siderea sp.
