Mediterranean parrotfish are known for their distinctive feeding behavior. They use their beak-like teeth to scrape algae off rocks and other hard surfaces. This feeding method not only provides the parrotfish with essential nutrients but also plays a significant role in maintaining the health of the marine ecosystem. By consuming algae, parrotfish help prevent algal overgrowth, which can suffocate coral reefs and other marine life. Their diet primarily consists of various types of algae which are abundant in their habitat.
