Marbled Grouper

Found singly, around deeper waters, in caves, crevices, and on deep ledges.
Juveniles found in the spines of sea urchins.

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.
