Blue parrotfish


                                                                            
Blue parrotfish are uniformly blue with a yellow spot on their heads that fades as they age. They average 30–75 cm in length with a maximum length of 1.2 m. They develop a large "beak" like other parrotfish that is used for scraping algae and small organisms from rocks. They are found on coral reefs at depths of 3–25 m (9–82 ft) in the western Atlantic from Maryland in the United States to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and south to Brazil.
