William Saville-Kent Parrotfish Poster
Picture this: You're sitting on a beautiful white sand beach listening to the waves come ashore, enjoying the gentle sea breeze sending a fine mist of salt spray through the air. Do you ever consider that you have the humble parrot fish to thank for you seaside paradise? Parrotfish use their beak-like teeth to feed on the algae and coral tissue they scrape from the reef structure. What happens to all that calcium carbonate they can't digest? You guessed it - they expel it as white sand, creating the beaches we all know and love.
