Overview
Found singly, over back reefs and reef tops, of clear, shallow lagoons, and outer reefs, rich in coral growth.
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.
