Steephead Parrotfish Nibbling At Coral In Indian Ocean Royalty-Free Stock Image

Steephead parrotfish (Chlorurus strongylocephalus) nibbling at coral in Indian Ocean. These fish have an incredibly distinct dental structure. This fish beak is actually made up of numerous small teeth packed closely together to form a beak-like structure. They use this tough beak to scrape algae from rocks and coral when feeding.
