Feeding behaviour

Foraging strategy varies by season. Sea Bunnies may hunt, graze, filter-feed, or scavenge depending on ecology.

Role in the food web

As invertebrates, they interact with predators, prey, and competitors across their range.

Human-related feeding risks

Never feed wild sea bunnies — it habituates animals to people and can spread disease.
