A close-up image of up some of the important seaweed-eating fish on the reef flat inside a marine reserve (in this case at Votua village, Fiji). The fish with the bright orange on its tail is the "Orangespine unicornfish" - an important consumer of brown seaweeds that proliferate on degraded reefs. The black parrotfish with the white tail (and black dot in the middle of the tail fin) is the "Bullethead parrotfish," who was the major consumer of red seaweeds.
