SRC Member Happy Reefer Posted April 19, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi, Can someone tell me the name of a totally white fish (can grow to a fairly big size) with a distinct vertical orange band on the front part of the head? It has a parrot-like beak too. Sorry, I do not have picture to show but am interested to keep one. See it before previously in LFS. Just don't know whether reef safe or not. Thanks.

SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted April 19, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yeah, i think hes referring to this one. Is it called a bi-colour parrotfish? Was told its not reef-safe.

SRC Member AREA51 Posted April 20, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 20, 2006 i think its reef safe its in my tank for months.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Quite coral safe... But in the wild parrotfish will chew on hard coral to trim their teeth... Will eat inverts if i am not wrong... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
