WHAT is THAT?

Parrotfish, they eat corals

Very cool fish...in the ocean. Saw a lot of them snorkling in Jamaica, right in front of our hotel.
I just didn't recognize that popcsn eating thing in the video!

Well, I don't think it's their natural diet.

But they do have beaks and grind coral up, kind of like a saltwater version of the beaver

Yep beautiful fish but a heck of a beak!
I have been bitten numerous times by them.
But worth every nip! Lol

I was watching the hump head parrot fish on BBC last night on YouTube. Holy shit! Ate a huge piece of SPS without effort!

I think they are one of the largest creators of beach sand are they not? In goes coral, out comes sand...

They also eat rock to consume the algae on it. Then they shit out sand all over the reef.
