Yellowedge Grouper

Found singly on mud, rock and sandy bottoms, close to burrow excavations and along trenches in deeper waters.

This fish is listed as vulnerable due to the overall decline!

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.
