Parrotfish
Parrotfishes are a group of about 95 species traditionally regarded as a family (Scaridae), but now often considered a subfamily (Scarinae) of the wrasses.〔 They are found in relatively shallow tropical and subtropical oceans throughout the world, displaying their largest species richness in the Indo-Pacific. They are found in coral reefs, rocky coasts, and seagrass beds, and play a significant role in bioerosion.〔〔〔 ==Taxonomy==
Traditionally, the parrotfishes have been considered a family level taxon, Scaridae. Although phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of parrotfishes is ongoing, they are now accepted to be a clade in the tribe Cheilini, and are now commonly referred to as scarine labrids (subfamily Scarinae, family Labridae).〔 Some authorities have preferred to maintain the parrotfishes as a family-level taxon,〔Randall, J. E. (2007). ''Reef and Shore Fishes of the Hawaiian Islands.'' ISBN 978-1-929054-03-9〕 resulting in Labridae not being monophyletic (unless split into several families).
