Parrotfish

Few reef fish work as hard as a parrotfish. With a bright beak-like mouth it scrapes algae off coral, then grinds the rubble into powder-soft sand. By day it cruises the reef in loose bands; at night it tucks into crevices, sealed inside a mucus sleeping bag.

Habitat: The Parrotfish can be found in Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, Philippines, Mexico, Belize, Costa-rica, Jamaica, Bahamas
