Stretching from Contoy to Belize, the <strong>Mesoamerican Reef<\/strong> is the second longest coral reef chain in the world, and it is home to a host of colorful fish of all shapes and sizes. Here are some of the most common species to look out for wherever you snorkel or dive in the Mexican Caribbean, whether that\u2019s Cancun or Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel, Akumal or Xel-Ha.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-gallery wp-image-43417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Sergeant-Major-845x684.jpg\" alt=\"Sergeant Major\" width=\"845\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Sergeant-Major-845x684.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Sergeant-Major-495x400.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Sergeant Major<\/h3>\n<p><em>Abudefduf saxatilis<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A member of the damselfish family, this is one of the most common fish you\u2019ll see in the Mexican Caribbean.

Also known as the surgeonfish due to the scalpel-shaped spines on either side of its tail, it feeds on algae and may be seen in pairs or schools near reefs and in <em>caletas<\/em> or inlets such as Xel-Ha, Yalku and Chankanaab lagoon on Cozumel.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-gallery wp-image-43409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Parrotfishh-845x684.jpg\" alt=\"Parrotfish\" width=\"845\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Parrotfishh-845x684.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Parrotfishh-495x400.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Parrotfish<\/h3>\n<p><em>Scaridae family<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Several members of the parrotfish family can be seen near reefs in the Cancun-Isla Mujeres area, the Riviera Maya and Cozumel. Look out for Rainbow Parrotfish, Midnight Parrotfish and Striped Parrotfish.<\/p>\n<p>How did parrotfish get their name? Their powerful jaws resemble a parrot\u2019s bill, and they use them to bite off fragments of coral, rock, algae and grind up mollusk shells. You may even hear them at work as you put your head under the water. After digestion, they excrete sand, and this helps create the white beaches of the Mexican Caribbean.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-gallery wp-image-43413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Porkfishh-845x684.jpg\" alt=\"Porkfishh\" width=\"845\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Porkfishh-845x684.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Porkfishh-495x400.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Porkfish<\/h3>\n<p><em>Anisotremus virginicus<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Recognizable for its yellow body and black stripes, porkfish congregate in schools near the reef crest.
