Parrotfish (Scaridae)

Parrotfish vary widely in color and size, from the small and common bullet parrot fish to the massive humphead parrotfish. They get their name from their distinctive parrot-like beaks, which are actually closely fused teeth. Their unique feeding habits play a vital role in the coral reef ecosystem. Scraping algae from coral and rock they excrete sand as a waste product, helping to build up many of the beautiful white-sand beaches found across the Pacific. By eating the algae from the surface of coral they also create areas where new corals can grow and continue to build up the reef.

Coconut Crab (Birgus Latro)

There is no mistaking the coconut crab. The largest species of land-dwelling crab in the world, they have 4 sets of legs and a pair of very powerful claws. They can grow up to a meter wide, weigh over 4kg., and range in color from brown/gray to blue/orange. They have a horn-like protrusion from the middle of their face called a rostrum. They are scavengers, eating anything from dead animal carcasses to prying open fallen coconuts.
