Scarus taeniopterus

The Princess Parrotfish is an active Caribbean species known for its attractive blue, green, and yellow coloration. It requires a large aquarium with plenty of open swimming space and secure rockwork.

This fish spends much of its time grazing on algae and should be offered nori, spirulina, algae sheets, and other vegetable-based foods. It is generally peaceful but may become territorial toward similar-sized fish or other grazers.

Princess Parrotfish are not reef safe because their feeding behavior may damage corals and other attached invertebrates.
