Papo France: Marine World - Surgeonfish

With its vibrant colors and elegant shapes, the surgeonfish brightens tropical coral reefs. It is easily recognized by its flattened silhouette and graceful swimming among the corals.

Surprisingly, its name comes from the sharp spine at the base of its tail, similar to a scalpel blade, which it uses to defend itself in times of danger. A herbivore, it feeds primarily on algae, contributing to the balance and health of coral reefs. Highly appreciated by divers and aquarists, it is also known for its role in the collective imagination thanks to its popularity in animated films.

This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the surgeonfish: vibrant colors, fine fins, and a realistic silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent tropical stories, or educate children about the fragile beauty of coral reefs.
