This morning, we were snorkeling near high tide, and witnessed lots of things feeding on the algae that grows on the rocks in very shallow water.
Perhaps the most interesting critters chowing down, in about a foot of water, were two sea turtles.

Additionally, lots of convict surgeonfish (manini) were grazing on the algae.
