Parrotfish: Slimy Snugglers

Parrot fish live in coral reefs

A slimy blanket protects parrot fish

Smells cannot get through slime

Parrot fish crunch their food loudly

Parrotfish get their name from their bright colors

At sunset, Parrotfish choose sandy spots to sleep

The parrotfish without slimy blankets had the most bites

Parrotfish have teeth that stick out like a beak

At sunset, parrotfish settle in to make their beds

First, they choose a sandy spot

Then they spit out slimy mucus

Again and again, the fish open their mouths

Finally, the fish are surrounded by balloons of spit that keep them safe
