What do snapper eat?

Snappers (family Lutjanidae) are voracious predators that feed on a wide variety of prey items. Their diet typically consists of smaller fish such as sardines, anchovies, and mackerel. Snappers also feed on crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs, as well as cephalopods such as squid and octopus. Some species of snapper may even feed on marine invertebrates such as sea urchins and mollusks. The specific diet of a snapper can vary depending on the species and the availability of prey in their environment.
