Parrotfish live in tropical coral reefs around the world. There are many different species, all with beautiful colours and patterns.
Parrotfish are actually to thank for tending coral reefs and creating the sand that forms many beaches. They eat coral and poop out sand. When diving you can sometimes actually hear their incredibly strong teeth crunching and grinding the coral.
In one year, just one large parrotfish can produce 1,000 pounds (450kg) of sand, the weight of a small horse.
Parrotfish grazing on the coral and the algae that grow on top of reefs provides a cleaning function that helps sustain coral reefs and the other marine life that they harbour. By eating the algae that compete with coral polyps for resources, the grazing parrotfish help the coral grow and make it more resilient to local stressors such as pollution or warming ocean temperatures. This is why parrotfish being present is an indicator of coral reef health.
In fact, where overfishing has wiped out parrotfish populations, coral reef ecosystems are not as productive and do not sustain as much diverse life. An example of how amazing nature is in design!
