While snorkelling in the clear sea of the ABC Islands, if you’re lucky, you might encounter several parrotfish species underwater. One of these is the so-called Stoplight Parrotfish (Sparisoma viride).
The Papiamentu/o word uña means nail, and when this word is imbedded in the local name for a plant you can be sure there is some spiny element to the plant that can be nasty.
