Fact Friday

Bumphead parrotfish head-butt each other so hard that it sounds like a gun going off. http://reefbuilders.com/2012/06/08/humphead-parrotfish-ramming/ These guys are the largest of the parrotfishes, weighing in over 100 pounds! They can also use the hump on their head to break off chunks of coral, one of their primary sources of food.
