Yesterday rainbow runners, today rainbow parrotfish! We encountered 3 rainbow parrotfish hanging out together on our dive, this morning, at about 15 feet.
Parrotfish play an important ecological role on the reefs, they graze algae from coral and rocks. This is one of the largest parrotfish species that occurs down here, so it is always a treat to see one. Three together makes for a memorable dive. Although this species reaches 5.5 feet in length, the biggest of these fish was about 3 feet.
