We frequently see initial-phase, yellowtail parrotfish on the reef. Sometimes they are swimming by. But often they can be found lying on the bottom. These fish were about 12 inches in length.
When fish are on the bottom, in proximity of a reef structure, often they are being cleaned. As you can see, these parrotfish were being cleaned by cleaning gobies. The bottom photo illustrates how the fish can move its eye. It was watching the goby.
