FBname: Masked grouper
Comments: An active swimmer usually found on outer reef slopes and channels adjacent to deep water.  Hovers above the bottom and probably feeds primarily on fishes (Ref. 9710).  It is uncommon and usually solitary, however Myers (1989, Ref. 4538) reported of occasional sightings of groups of 3 or 4 fish. Solitary, hovering in midwater (Ref 90102).  Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
