The family Scaridae includes over 90 species of parrotfish that are found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. Some common synonyms for Scaridae include parrotfish family, rainbowfish family, and parakeetfish family. These colorful and interesting fish play an important role in coral reef ecosystems by consuming and breaking down algae, which helps to maintain the health of the reef.
