The blue surgeonfish, or Paracanthurus hepatus, adapts to coral reefs primarily through its herbivorous diet, feeding on algae that grow on coral surfaces. Its vibrant coloration not only provides camouflage among the reef's diverse hues but also plays a role in social interactions and mating. Additionally, the fish's streamlined body allows it to navigate through tight spaces within the reef, while its sharp spines deter predators. These adaptations help the blue surgeonfish thrive in the complex coral reef ecosystem.
