Common name: Parrotfish

Calotomus is a genus of parrotfish predominantly found in the Indo-Pacific region. These herbivorous fish are known for their vibrant colors and beak-like teeth, which they use to scrape algae from coral and rocks. They play a crucial role in maintaining the health of coral reefs by controlling algae growth. In the aquarium, they require large tanks with plenty of live rock for grazing and can be sensitive to water quality. They are generally peaceful but may show territorial behavior.
