No they are 100% reef safevery nice. Are they normally known to nip corals?
I thought parrot fish love to chew on SPS.
Not these type . They are 100% reef safe my friend had one for few years no problem
I believe the common name is princess parrot fishWhat kind are these exactly?
those are princess parrot fish they are reef safe with caution because they like to chew on stony corals with their plate teeth to dig out the algae that may be growing in them they don't necessarily just go and eat your corals
Interesting, after looking both up princess parrots do have slightly different markings from quoyi. Learn something new every day.No they are quoyi parrot fish
I wished food was my case. Mine ate a ton. He was first at the nori stick and probably ate more than my tangs or angels. It's his passive nature that was the cause of death. Dang little cleaner wrasse.Yes, they are Scarus quoyi. Gorgeous fish, but I have not had luck keeping them in my FOWLR. In my experience they tend to be fairly passive. They didn't get bullied by my other fish, but I don't think they got enough to eat either. They are a heavy bodied fish that requires a good amount of food, large chunks. They just couldn't compete in my tank and eventually passed. I have a lot of algae on my rocks but they never really grazed at all. Too bad, as they are my favorites.
To the op, what size tank do you have them in?
Biggest I've seen in person of these quoyi had been about 9 ish inches.In a 6 foot tank . These parrots don't get big .
