What Is a Parrot Fish?

The parrot fish is a tropical marine species found across oceans worldwide. Its name comes from its strong, beak-like mouth that resembles a parrot’s. These fish spend their days swimming across reefs, crunching away at the surface of corals to feed.

While parrot fish come in many sizes and species, the humphead parrot fish is one of the largest and most iconic. Its massive bulb-shaped forehead and bold colors make it a showstopper on tropical reefs.
