Brown-marbled Grouper

Epinephelus fuscoguttatus

Brown-marbled Grouper

Adults live around coral reefs, rocky ledges, and deeper coastal slopes in warm Indo-Pacific waters. They are ambush predators that swallow fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods with a powerful expanding mouth. This large grouper can change its mottled coloration somewhat to blend into its reef surroundings.
