Coral trout groupers

Distribution : Tropical Indo-Pacific; distribution differs between species.

A coral trout grouper moves near reef shelters. It reveals hunting that uses the relief and spaces between corals. Its depth range depends on species, across coastal reefs and their slopes.

WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?

An elongated body, large mouth and numerous small spots characterise these groupers. Colour changes with lighting conditions. Size and coloration differ between species; this guide gives no single maximum for the group.

WHERE DO THEY LIVE?

They inhabit reefs and slopes, whose structures provide shelter and hunting positions. Visible features here do not exclude all closely related species in the genus.

WHAT DO THEY EAT?

Fish form an important part of their diet. Prey size and other resources vary with species and age. Nearby small damselfish do not establish prey capture.
