Kapalai: Bumphead parrotfish
Bumphead parrotfish are active in the daytime and can be seen crunching corals with their powerful beaks. When they move around in schools, they are like an underwater herd of cows grazing on hard coral. Ground coral is ejected as fine sand, so you may be tanning yourself on parrotfish poo!
