Ember Parrotfish munching on the coral reef
Ember Parrotfish munching on the coral reef
Ember Parrotfish (male) munching on a mouthful of coral reef. Parrotfish aide the coral reef by cleaning out the algae from between the corals. However, they also are a major cause of bio-erosion of the reef, resulting in the creation of the beautiful coral sand beaches found on tropical islands.
Individually crafted - we take pride in our unique collection of underwater photography. Our high quality photo prints featuring pictures of tropical fish are printed individually to order.
