Parrotfish in its protective mucus shield

This Fish Sleeps Inside a Bubble Every Night — And It’s Pure Magic! 💫 Each night, the parrotfish creates its own “sleeping bag” — a clear, jelly-like bubble made of natural mucus that wraps around its body like a cozy blanket. 🫧💤 But this isn’t just for comfort — the bubble hides the fish’s scent from predators like moray eels and keeps away tiny parasites, letting it rest peacefully till sunrise. 🌊✨ A gentle reminder that nature always finds the most beautiful ways to protect its own. 💚🌎

Parrotfish ASMR, reef edition. Parrotfish can often gather in big schools, safety in numbers. But this is a large, colourful and very loud parrotfish parade. That loud scraping is them feeding on the algae which covers coral and even that Giant Clam. This was quite a sight (and sound) that was recently filmed at Mackay Reef with @oceansafaricapetrib #greatbarrierreef #parrotfish #nature #wildlife #asmr | Master Reef Guides
