The yellow heart parrotfish, also known as the yellowtail parrotfish or yellowhead parrotfish, is a vibrant and striking species found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
 
Physical Appearance: The yellow heart parrotfish is characterized by its distinctive yellow coloring on its head, which fades to a more greenish or bluish hue towards the tail. Its body is elongated and compressed laterally, with a large head and a beak-like mouth that is fused into a parrot-like beak, hence the name "parrotfish."
Color Variation: While the yellow head is the most common coloration, there can be some variations in coloration among individuals. Some may have more intense yellow hues, while others may exhibit more green or blue tones.
Habitat: Yellow heart parrotfish are primarily found in coral reefs, where they play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the ecosystem. They are commonly seen in shallow, clear waters, often near reef crests or slopes.
Diet: Like other parrotfish species, the yellow heart parrotfish has a specialized diet consisting mainly of algae, which it scrapes off coral reefs using its powerful beak-like teeth. As they feed, they inadvertently ingest small particles of coral, which are ground up by their teeth and expelled as sand, contributing to the formation of coral sand beaches.
