’Parrotfish seule, on pale aqua by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/7959209): Parrotfish seule, on pale aqua. © Su Schaefer 2014 'A pack of parrotfish' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/2773134) is a related, more elaborate version (placed 54th out of 228 entries in Spoonflower's 2014 Great Barrier Reef Contest). This design is based on the Red-speckled Parrotfish (Cetoscarus bicolor) first described by Rueppell in 1828 (according to my source: Gerry Allen's 'Marine fishes of the Great Barrier Reef and South-east Asia' published by Periplus Editions, 1997, West Australian Museum, with illustrations by Roger Swainston & Jill Ruse). Parrotfish do not have individual teeth but rather a "beak-like structure" - as if the teeth have fused together - so they are nibblers or gnawers rather than biters. They are also incredibly brightly colored, and no art can do justice to their coloration. Nor to the noise they make as they gnaw on coral in the reef. A school of parrotfish can be almost deafening. Oil on canvas, half-brick repeat. [Currently set @ Fabric: 550 ppi, Wallpaper: 300, Gift wrap: 415 ppi]
