The Most Beautiful And Brilliantly Colored Coral Reef Fishes
Published by Parrotfish (Scaridae) are close relatives of the wrasses. Many of them are brilliantly colored and have teeth in each jaw that are fused to form a sort of parrot-like beak. With this beak they can bite off tough seaweeds, lumps of coral or even spiny sea urchins, which are then ground up by the mill-like teeth that line their throats.

The Most Beautiful And Brilliantly Colored Coral Reef Fishes
Marine Angelfish
Marine angelfish (Pomacanthidae) live around the same coral reefs as the butterflyfish and in fact look a bit like larger editions of those fish, but some people think angelfish are prettier. They differ from butterflyfish in that they have a spine at the base of each gill cover. Except during mating angelfish are solitary, and each fish will vigorously defend its territory. If another member of the species intrudes, it will make a threatening display, showing off its colors. If the invader does not leave, there will be a violent fight.
A zebra angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus) live on a coral reef in Indo-Pacific waters.
A black band across the eye of the vermiculated angelfish (Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus) makes it hard to tell its back end from its front.
The young emperor angel (Pomacanthus imperator), When mature, however, it will look quite different.
The blue-ringed angelfish (Pomacanthus annularis) lives around coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific.
The blue-and-gold angelfish (Centropyge bicolor) is also a coral reef dweller.
