    "They have strong, beak-like teeth that allow them to spend up to 90% of the day munching on microscopic organisms that grow on and within the calcium carbonate structures created by #corals. As the #fish remove coral skeletons, they create space for new corals to grow and produce white sand as their digestive waste."

    As a kid, Sabrina Imbler loved the #ocean. They'd swim, snorkel, following around #parrotfish in the water. Later, they tried to learn everything they could about these brightly colored tropical #fish, like how they produce a mucus bubble to sleep in or how they keep #CoralReefs healthy... In 2022, they released a collection of essays called How Far The Light Reaches: A Life In Ten Sea Creatures.
