Dusky Grouper

Found singly and territorial, over rocky bottoms of coral and rocky reefs.
Juveniles found close to shore in rocky tide-pools.

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.
