The buffalo of the reef *
The bumphead parrotfish lives in schools of dozens of individuals. During the day, they put on an incredible show: gathering in herds to smash coral with their powerful beaks and graze on it like underwater buffalo.
That's actually where their nickname "reef buffalo" comes from - along with the big bump on their head!
At night, you might spot them resting together in a cave or shipwreck, sleeping as a group without the protective mucus cocoon used by other parrotfish species.
A fascinating behavior, and a reminder of how wild and unique the ocean truly is.
