I spent the day with my dive buddy Claire today looking for redband parrotfish. We tried to follow them around the reef for a survey on parrotfish diets. At the first site, we didn’t see any. We thought we had found some, but when we got to shore I realized that all I had were videos of wrasses. At the next two sites, we actually did spot a few! Parrotfish are difficult to spot because the same species can look completely different, so it was definitely a challenge. We ended up finding 6 total, but we only saw the two females eat because the males typically patrol and don’t eat as much. On our parrotfish hunt, I also noticed so many christmas tree worms living on brain corals. These guys are so cute!!! If I were to send a wave vibration towards them, they would sense it and shrivel up immediately. Likewise, we played with some sea anemones, who would also shrink up when u got close to them. It was adorable! I also got to see some yellow pencil coral and lettuce coral here!!! The lettuce coral was much smaller than the pictures I have seen. It seemed to grow in small patches around the reef, so I hadn’t noticed it before.
