I wonder if breeding more parrotfish and releasing them into the Great Barrier Reef might make a difference in saving the Great Reef 😞
So sad that I read somewhere that it is dying.

I so wanted the fish that expelled white sand to be named Wahoo. LOL.

All of the white sand on The Maldives beaches are actually coral from Parrot Fish poo!

Teslasgirl66, wahoo is the King Mackerel. Known in Hawaii as "ono" which means "delicious" because it is!
RedSeaDiver69
They're so called because they have a break rather like that of a parrot.

That is awesome!!!

It should be illegal to catch a parrot fish as their existence is so important to sea life.

I knew this from watching David Attenbourough's nature shows, particularly Blue Planet!

i once had a pair of parrotfish in my aquarium and yes when they excrete the sand it looks like a smoke belching vehicle underwater.

This has to be the coolest piece of information that I've ever run across.

I thought " out the wahoo" might have come from that. Got that wrong

the famous white sand beaches of Hawaii are a courtesy of the parrot fish

Lionessa, parrot fish eat coral, which is what the barrier reef is made of.
