 I have never seen a poor lyretail grouper specimen offered for sale;
 all have been in excellent condition.  The lyretail is outgoing,
 quickly adapting to new surroundings and spending a good part of its
 time in full view in an aquarium.
 The coloration changes dramatically from juvenile to adult.  At 100 to
 150 millimeters (4 to 6 inches) the fish have a broad black horizontal
 mid-body band, red to yellowish above and whitish underneath.
 Midsize fish are an intense purple with bright blue spots overall.
 Adults become salmon colored with enlarged, lighter blue spots.
