Leopard Hind

Found singly and secretive, hiding in caves and crevices, over channels, lagoon pinnacles, and outer reef slopes, rich in coral growth.

One of the smallest groups.

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.
