Parrotfish (Sparsoma viride) - They swim about reefs and stop to scrape algae from rocks and coral. The Stoplight Parrotfish has a bright yellow spot at the upper corner of the gill cover. It also has a yellow area at the base of the tail. It has a salmon to yellow crescent on the tail. The overall color is emerald green with salmon to yellow markings on the head and fins. The juvenile parrotfish has three rows of widely spaced white spots that run the length of the dark reddish brown body. It has a white bar on its tail. It is commonly found in Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Bermuda, eastern Gulf of Mexico, and south to Brazil. It appears unconcerned to divers, but they shy away when closely approached. They range in size from 1 - 2 feet and have a depth of 15 - 80 feet.
