Description
The striped parrotfish got its name from its distinctive beak-shaped mouth, like a parrot's, which is quite useful in scraping algae and polyps from rocks and corals. This fish is harvested commercially in small amounts, with more value to the aquarium trade since eating it carries a risk of ciguatera poisoning.
