What are herbivore fish?
They are fish that eat algae as their main source of food. Herbivores eat the algae and keep it from overgrowing, helping it to stay in balance on the reef. They are like the coral reef’s natural gardeners! The manini (convict tang) and kala (blue-spined unicorn fish) are two examples of herbivore fish.
