Mangrove red snapper
Lutjanus argentimaculatus
Adults range from mangroves and estuaries into coastal reefs, rocky bottoms, and deeper offshore waters. They are active predators that take fishes, crabs, prawns, and cephalopods with powerful jaws. This species can grow exceptionally large for a snapper, with mature fish sometimes exceeding a metre in length.
