The **Coney Grouper** is a visually striking large red fish, known for its vibrant red body adorned with white spots. Some individuals display a lower half entirely covered in white. These groupers can grow up to 16 inches, necessitating a minimum aquarium size of 240 gallons. However, they often remain smaller in captivity. The **Coney Grouper** is known for its aggressive nature, preying on any fish or invertebrate that fits in its mouth, making it a cautious choice for reef tanks.
