Parrotfish
editThe Parrotfish article mentions that beaches near present or ancient coral reefs are composed of calcium carbonate particles, not silica, which are the excreta of Parrotfish (especially the Green humphead parrotfish). Coral polyps (Coral, Coral reef, Polyp (zoology)) form the major diet of these fish, eaten along with their calcium carbonate coral substrate, and the excreted pieces of indigestible coral are visible after geologic time has passed as sand. Each adult fish ingests over five tons of structural reef carbonates per year, excreting most of the carbonates. However, this article doesn't even mention parrotfish even once. It is incredible, but true, a major (in my opinion) omission from WP. David Spector (talk) 17:21, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
