Leopard Coral Grouper

Found singly, during the day hiding under mid-shelf ledges, dispersing at night to hunt for food over lagoons rich in coral growth.
Juveniles found over coral rubble of shallow 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.
