Parrotfish Sand
$35
Fun Fact: Ever marvelled at the pristine white sands of tropical beaches? Thank the parrotfish for that! Sporting vibrant colours and beak-like mouths, parrotfish nibble on coral reefs, unintentionally ingesting the hard calcium carbonate structures. What happens next? This coral gets processed and excreted as fine white sand. In some tropical paradises, a jaw-dropping 80% of the beach sand is actually parrotfish poop! This quirky natural process not only contributes to the stunning beauty of our shores but also underlines the crucial role coral reefs play in marine biodiversity and coastal charm. So, next time you're lounging on a tropical beach, remember you've got these colorful fish to thank for the sandy bliss under your feet!
