Black and White Snapper

Macolor niger

Black and White Snapper

Adult black and white snappers live around coral reefs and deeper reef slopes in tropical Indo-Pacific waters. They feed mainly on fishes, crustaceans, and other mobile invertebrates, often foraging actively around the reef. Adults lose the juvenile stripes and develop a predominantly dark body with a pale band along the side.
