You’re a parrotfish. You’re very important to everything around you.

Parrotfish and wrasse are grouped together for some of their attributes. Parrotfish have beak-like teethplates and bright colors, like parrots. They swim with their pectoral fins and scrape algae off of the coral, keeping the coral from smothering under the algae.

You’re an angelfish. Graceful, but sometimes not so angelic.

Angelfish are often groupled with Butterfly fish and Surgeon fish for their similar attributes. They tend to be darker in color and have long dorsal fins with a rounded forehead. They’re one of the sponge-eaters on the reef.

You’re a clown fish. You like to look bold. You like to stick close to home, probably with some close friends.

Clownfish are grouped with the wrasse and have some similarities with parrotfish. Clownfish are named because of the white coloring, like the white makeup used by clowns. They often live symbiotically with anemones.

You’re a puffer fish. You move gracefully in the water, but you can defend yourself if needed.

Pufferfish earn their name since they can swell up like a balloon. Some have spines that stand out when they do this, like a porcupinefish. All have powerful jaws and some of dark spots or blotches.

You’re a lionfish. You’re graceful in the water. You don’t move much, but you are a deadly predator.

Lionfish are grouped with Flounders, Scorpionfish, Lizardfish and frogfish. Native to the indo-pacific region, they are an invasive species in the Caribbean. Most scorpion fish stay fairly still, well-camouflaged against the reef. Lionfish, though, prefer to swim and are very graceful in the water.
