    Scarus vetula are active diurnal herbivores. They scrape algae, preferably turf algae, that is on flat surfaces and coral from coral reefs with their unique beak (Bruggemann, 1994). S. vetula crushes the coral and algae mixture finely in the pharyngeal mill, and the indigestible sand is excreted (Wheeler, 1975).
    Scarus vetula are usually found in the tropics parading along coral reefs within and around the Caribbean basin, but are limited only to relatively low water depth due their inability to cope with extremely strong currents (Boschung, 1983), also because this is where the stay amongst their food source. They are mostly active diurnal grazers.
    Scarus vetula are a large contributor to the production of sand through their digestion of corals. They are also believed to be a major reef attraction (Wheeler, 1975). Scarus vetula have become one of the most important biological factors in the erosion of coral reefs.
    Scarus vetula are mostly found in small schools of 3 - 4 females and a supermale. They are not strong swimmers so they scull themselves along with their pectoral fins (Lythgoe, 1992). S. vetula are only active during the day.
