Parrotfish The Secret Source of Tropical White Sand! 🏖️

Did you know that the beautiful white sand on tropical beaches actually comes from fish? Meet the Parrotfish, the ocean's most unusual "sand factory"! Amazing facts from our dive: Sand Makers: While eating algae, they scrape off coral particles. A single fish can poop out up to 250 grams of sand a day and 90 kilograms a year!. Crunch Sound: They are so loud when nibbling on corals that you can hear the "crunch crunch" from many meters away underwater. Organized Swimmers: Interestingly, they gather in huge groups based strictly on their size. Constant Growth: Their teeth grow throughout their entire lives to handle all that coral scraping. Giant Species: The Humphead parrotfish can grow up to 1.3 meters in length. These fish are vital for the health of coral reefs all over the world! #Parrotfish #whitesand #oceanlife #naturefacts #underwater #coralreef #marinelife #diving #naturelovers #sandfactory #tropicalbeach #fishfacts #shorts #wildlife #ecology
