Parrotfish painted for Air Vanuatu inflight information and magazine. Features a mosaic of turquoise, pink, green, and orange scales with large, detailed fins and a coral backdrop. These beautiful rainbow-colored reef fish use their strong, beak-like teeth to bite off chunks of coral. They grind it up, digest the algae inside, digest it and release it out as fine, soft sand. A single parrotfish can produce hundreds of kilos of sand every year - literally helping build the paradise we all walk on. So next time you’re sinking your toes into Vanuatu’s beaches, you can thank the humble parrotfish! Show more
