The parrotfish (Scandae sp.) got its name because of its brilliant coloring. Its sharp front teeth, which resemble a parrot’s beak, enable it to nip off bits of coral. It then grinds the gritty mouthfuls of coral with the rounded teeth at the back of its mouth in order to extract and eat the polyps and algae.
