Parrotfish

Alternative names: Scaridae

The Parrotfish is an unique species of fish that can be found around coral reefs. Their name was given because of their fused teeth which makes them looks like a parrot.
An interesting fact about the Parrotfish is that at night some species secrete mucous from their mouth in order to produce a cocoon which will surround themselves like a protective shield and which also hides their scent from predators .
