1. Lionfish are native to which oceans? Where can they also be found?

2. What do lionfish eat? Why is this a problem?

3. Why are coral reefs important? SUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION?

4. How are lion fish affecting the coral reefs?

Lionfish are native in the southern area of the pacific ocean. Lionfish eat other fish, invertebres, and mollusks. Coral reefs are important not only because they work as a habitat for many aquatic species, but also because they protect coast lines from wave action and tropical storms. Lionfish bring a negative affect to coral reefs, because they eat a large amount of the herbivores. The herbivores do not recognize them as a threat, leaving them helpess. The herbivores help control alagae growth, which is harmful to the coral if left unchecked.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
