The trophic ecology of reef fishes: the cnidarian challenge

Víctor Huertas explored the trophic ecology of cnidarian-feeding labrids to understand how these fishes overcome the difficulties associated with a diet of corals or jellyfish. He described the evolution of two highly modified oral jaw structures that confers an extraordinary ability to secrete mucus which enables fishes to exploit this unusual diet. This work offers a new view of the importance of corals and coral feeding fishes.
