Achilles Surgeonfish schooling and grazing on algae on coral reef

Achilles Surgeonfish, aka Achilles Tang, has a striking black body with orange-red and white accents. They often travel and feed in schools, and grazes on algae throughout the day. Surgeonfish have a blade like spine in the tail that points outwards when bent and is used for defense, and is as sharp as a surgeons scalpel, hence the name 'Surgeonfish'.

 

The coral reef is a very fragile part of the ocean, and many creatures are needed to help keep it healthy and in balance. Large schools of surgeonfish are needed to maintain this balance.
