Message in a Bottle, Parrot Fish
$400.00
Parrotfish received their name from having a fused beak structure — like a parrot. A parrotfish’s diet is primarily algae. To eat, they use their beak to pulverize coral to reach the algae-filled polyps hiding in the coral reefs. Sand is ground-up, undigested remains of coral. So, thanks to parrotfish, we can have sand on the seafloor, sandbars and beaches!
I love the maritime creatures, need to keep their habitat clean.
