There are many species of parrotfish. Parrotfish eat coral. The nice white coral sands near coral reefs are composed largely of parrotfish poop.

There has been an explosion of the population of lion fish in the Florida reefs. I wonder how this affects the health of the coral reefs. I understand it’s not good for it.

And,when diving the reefs one can hear the parrot fish chomping on coral. It’s what they do— eat living coral, and the coral grows more.
