Longnose Parrotfish swooping down against a cobalt blue backdrop

Indian Longnose Parrotfish swooping down to nibble on corals near the bottom of the reefs edge. Voracious feeding prevents algae from choking corals. The teeth of Indian Longnose Parrotfish continuously grow to replace the material worn away by feasting on the hard corals. Parrotfish resemble parrots both with their vibrant coloration and beak like teeth which they use to rasp algae from corals & rocky outgrowths.

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.
