The midnight parrotfish (Scarus coelestinus), with its dark -almost black- blue hues during all life stages, is a sober and sophisticated addition of colors to any vibrant aquarium. With their strong beaks, they scrape algae off rocks and coral tissue, playing an important role in reef ecosystems by contributing to sand formation. Typically found in small groups of 2–4 individuals in coral reefs and warm-water habitats, they may form larger schools when migrating or foraging. When introducing midnight parrotfish to aquariums with corals or underwater decorations, careful consideration is needed, as their grazing habits can impact delicate structures. However, they can thrive in a community tank with other peaceful fish, provided there is ample space and hiding spots.
Size ranges but typically 2-8 inches, however these fish can grow to around 30 inches long
