Best Answer

Parrot fish have a specific niche on tropical coral reefs as they have teeth which allow them to eat coral. They either scrape algae off the coral or eat chunks of coral and digest to get to the algae. The remains are then excreted as sand. They will also eat other microorganisms that lives on coral.

This specialisation means that there is little competition for their particular foodstuff.

Thank you! That is my answer!
