Fast Facts
This is a great looking fish that is virtually indestructible. Individuals that are seen in the trade are red-orange on top with pink spots on the body, and have a black stripe on the side black spot at the base of the caudal fin. Larger specimens are rarely seen in the trade and are maroon to lavender in color, with pink spots. Although it can be shy when initially introduced to the aquarium, with time it will spend more time in the open, becoming quite bold. Only one Louti Lyretail Grouper should be kept per aquarium, as they are prone to fight with one another. It will eat any fish that they can swallow whole and behave aggressively towards tankmates that intrude into its preferred hiding places. It will also eat ornamental shrimps and crabs.
