No, parrotfish are not decomposers; they are herbivores that primarily feed on algae and coral. Their feeding behavior helps maintain the health of coral reefs by controlling algae growth, which can otherwise overwhelm coral. Decomposers in coral reefs include organisms like bacteria and certain fungi that break down dead organic matter. Thus, parrotfish play a different ecological role within the reef ecosystem.
