arent those the fish that eat algea by chewing on corals and rock. they are said to have made the majority of the white sand on beaches from chewing up rocks.

That's parrotfish that make the sand. So does the macroalgae Halimeda.

Yea I especially noticed this part in case you wondered about How different nation's were treating this issue.


"Indonesia allows an annual capture of 8,000 individual humphead wrasse — none for local consumption, all for export —"

expoted to China as a 'lucky' food. Probably served on a bed of 'lucky' shark fins.

Next on the menu, tiger stuffed dolphin served on a elephant tusk plate and cut with a rhino handled knive. Very lucky...
