White-edged Lyretail

Found singly or in small schools, over seaward reefs.
Juveniles swim above reefs, rich in algae and coral growth, looking like a basslet.

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.
