Brown-spotted Grouper

Found singly in both shallow to very deep waters over mud, sand and seagrass bottoms of outer reef slopes.
Widespread Indo Pacific

Groupers are solitary carnivores that hunt near the bottom usually at dusk. Food is drawn into their mouths by a powerful suction when they open their overly large mouths and then swallowed whole.
Spawning is seasonal and controlled by the moons phase.
