About this species

The porkfish, known for its distinct coloration and patterns, is a native inhabitant of the Western Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Identified by its silver body accented with yellow and black stripes, it roams shallow reef areas in schools. While not considered dangerous to humans, porkfish are primarily herbivorous, feeding on algae and small invertebrates. These colorful fish play a crucial role in reef ecosystems, aiding in the control of algae growth and serving as a food source for larger predators.
