Cloudy Grouper

Found singly, in murky turbid waters, over silty sand bottoms of estuaries, harbours, coral and rocky reefs.

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.
