Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Parrotfish spend 90% of their day cleaning the reef of algae. This cleaning (eating) helps corals grow and thrive, and healthy reefs support more fish in the sea. ... They snack on the hard parts of coral which becomes a white sandy material in their stomachs that they leave behind on the reef.
