Fish of the Maldives

Parrotfish

There are only a few parrotfish that I think I would be able to positively I.D., and those are ones with very unique shapes are markings.  They are, however, very  beautiful, so I have included some pictures of un-identified parrotfish at the end of this post.

Ember Parrotfish

Scarus rubroviolaceus

Only the females have this very distinct red and black color.

Longnose Parrotfish

Hipposcarus harid

Adults identifiable by their long noses.

And some other parrotfish

Bullethead, or Shabby, Parrotfish

Chlorurus sordidus
