The whale shark is a filter feeding shark that is very large. A whale shark is not nocturnal. It is, in fact, diurnal.

The world famous Great White Shark is in fact diurnal. This means that the Great White Shark is active during the day and asleep during the night. Nocturnal meanwhile means asleep during the day and active during the night.

It depended on the species. Some sea stars such as the Crown-of-thorns sea star (Acanthaster planci)

are nocturnal while species while species such as the Red Sea Star (Fromia milleporella) are diurnal.
