You can find an amazing and colorful Parrotfish on your diving in Koh Tao at many dive sites.

The parrotfish family contains ten genera and about 90 species. It was named «parrotfishes» because the shape of their teeth resembles a bird’s beak plus the fact they swim with their pectoral fins in a bird-like fashion. They are often brightly colored.
The teeth of the parrotfish are uniquely designed to scrape algae from coral and rocks. This is its main food source. It is also able to grind up pieces of coral and excrete the indigestible sand. One parrot fish can chew coral into 90 kg of sand each year. Their teeth keep on growing continuously. Some species of parrotfish secrete a mucous envelope to sleep in during the night. This mucous is thought to give it some protection from predators. Some male parrot fish maintain harems of females. If the dominant male dies, one of the females will change gender and color and become the dominant male. The parrotfish plays an important role in the health of the coral reef — it feeds on algae that could smother the coral if left to grow.

 

Stingrays are found quite frequently while diving in Samui and Koh Tao. There are two main types of stingrays that we see: The Bluespotted Ribbontail stingray (Taeniura lymma) and the Jenkin’s whipray (Himantura Jenkins).
The Bluespotted ray is the more common stingray, it is easily identified by many large brilliant blue spots on a yellowish-reddish brown body disc shaped body that is white underneath. The tail sting is set well back on the tail which has a small fringe like caudal fin and is longer than his main body.
The Jenkin’s whipray not so common here as the Bluespotted Ribbontail ray, is less colourful than the first one being a more gray or brown colour on the top and white on its underbelly, but it grows to an impressive 1,5 m across and has a broad, diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc and a whip-like tail.
Both rays are more active at night when they can be seen swimming around, hunting for their prey: worms, shrimps and crabs. It’s one big attraction of doing the night adventure dive on your PADI Advanced Open Water course.
