Bumphead parrotfish. Parrotfish contribute to bioerosion by rasping algae from coral and other rocky substrates with their teeth tightly packed on the external surface of their jaw bones. For example, parrotfish grazing accounted for the production of 85% of island sand in the Maldives because of their high biomass and feeding intensity. Photo credit Jenny Huang.
