Common name: Parrotfish

The Scaridae family, commonly known as Parrotfish, are a group of marine fish known for their vibrant colors and beak-like teeth. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by grazing on algae and dead coral, which helps prevent algal overgrowth and promotes coral growth. Parrotfish are sequential hermaphrodites, with some species starting life as females and later transforming into males. They are popular among reef hobbyists for their unique appearance and behavior, but require large tanks with plenty of swimming space and rockwork to mimic their natural habitat.
