Algae

Although they are considered to beomnivoe

parrotfish eat a wide variety of organisms that live on coral reefs. Some species, for example Bolbometopon muricatum may include corals (polyps) in their diet. Their feeding activity is important for the production and distribution of coral sands in the reef biome and can prevent algae from choking coral. They eat plants at the bottom of the sea and the other animals poop.
