The peculiar habits of parrotfish 🐠 After a long day chomping through rocks and corals for tasty algae, parrotfish have a unique way of settling in at night. Each evening, they craft a ‘sleeping bag’, or cocoon, made from mucus. 🫧 It not only keeps them safe from ‘bed bugs’ like parasites that can attach to a sleeping fish, but it may also mask their smell from night-time predators like moray eels and sharks.

Parrotfish ASMR, reef edition. Parrotfish can often gather in big schools, safety in numbers. But this is a large, colourful and very loud parrotfish parade. That loud scraping is them feeding on the algae which covers coral and even that Giant Clam. This was quite a sight (and sound) that was recently filmed at Mackay Reef with @oceansafaricapetrib #greatbarrierreef #parrotfish #nature #wildlife #asmr | Master Reef Guides
