Daisy parrotfish — size comparison — facts and sources

The daisy parrotfish inhabits Indian Ocean reefs and adjoining substrates. Its teeth form a hard, beak-like structure. Colour changes with life phase and sex, so members of the same species can look very different.

It feeds on algae and associated material growing on the substrate. Powerful jaws scrape food from hard surfaces. It travels over reefs while feeding, stopping at successive overgrown bottom patches.
