The princess parrotfish (Scarus taeniopterus) is a tropical reef parrotfish, typically 20 to 25 cm long, found in the Caribbean, South Florida, the Bahamas, and Bermuda. Its behavior, similar to other parrotfishes, is to swim about the reef and sandy patches during the day, at depths between 3 and 25 m, scraping algae on which it feeds.
