Anyone out there with (or had) a (marine) parrotfish?

[monocus]

i had a princess parrot for over a year-but it passed during my move-didn't bother my corals as i make a herbivore mixture for the fish but would occasionaly chew on soft rock(old coral)

I certainly do have a lot of corals for my parrot fish to chow down on and she does, but seems to prefer other foods like flakes, pellets, mysis etc. Now adays I think she just chomps on the odd coral to wear her teeth down. She has certainly not devoured any complete colonies during the past year. She is my personal coral pruner

So Kien....its hard to tell from the pictures.....how big is this fish now? I have seen ones with this coloring in Mexico/Hawaii while snorkeling and I find them very facinating.

The coloring is amazing.

Yeah, they are everywhere in the Mayan Riviera. Travelling mostly in small schools pooping out their coral sand. When the sunlight hits them just right they almost glow with colour. Very beautiful fish.
