Author: Fourmanoir, 1971
FBname: Reticulate grouper
Remark: Type locality: Rangiroa, Tuamotu Archipelago.
Comments: Inhabits the outer slope of coral reefs.  Fourmanoir (1971, Ref. 6828) found ophichthid eels, <i>Leiuranus phoenixensis</i>, in the stomachs of his type specimens.  May be of some importance to artisanal fisheries and it is rarely caught because of its preference for deep water.
