Scarus taeniopterus "Princess Parrotfish"
The Princess Parrotfish grows to over a foot in length and should not be housed in anything smaller than a 150 gallon aquarium. They may damage reef set-ups, and are best kept in fish only aquariums as they will nip and tear at corals in a reef set up. Parrotfish will even chew on live rock to eat the encrusting organisms on it.
Princess Parrots develop a mixture of blue, green and purple coloration throughout the body with a large yellow spot located directly behind the pectoral fin.
Provide plenty of live rock for this fish to forage from as this is their natural habit in the wild. Along with grazing on the rock they will accept frozen food such as frozen shrimp, clam, squid and artificial food such as pellets. The Parrotfish will get along with other predatory fish and large tangs and angels but should not be kept with anything that may be viewed as food.
