Summary description from Wikipedia:
Chlorurus bleekeri
Chlorurus bleekeri, known commonly as Bleeker's parrotfish, is a species of marine fish in the family Scaridae.
Bleeker's parrotfish is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the central Indo-Pacific region. It feeds on filamentous algae. It is a medium-sized fish and can reach a maximum size of 49 cm length. Males are more colorful than females.
This parrotfish uses its beak-like teeth to scrape algae from coral rubble and reef surfaces.
Chlorurus bleekeri feeds on different food sources than nearby damselfish species, and the two do not compete directly for food.
