The Coral Grouper (Plectropomus spp.) is a vibrant species of fish found in coral reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific region. Recognized for their striking coloration, which often includes bright blues, greens, and yellows, Coral Groupers can grow to lengths of about 1.5 m (4.9 ft) and weigh up to 25 kg (55 lb). They are carnivorous predators, primarily feeding on smaller fish and invertebrates, and are known for their excellent camouflage among the coral. Coral Groupers are social fish that often form hunting partnerships with other species, displaying complex behaviors to coordinate their attacks. Although popular in fisheries and for aquarium trade, habitat degradation and overfishing pose threats to their populations, leading to conservation efforts aimed at protecting their natural habitats.
