Common name: Grunts

Haemulidae, commonly known as grunts or sweetlips, are a family of fish found in tropical and subtropical waters. They are characterized by their ability to produce grunting sounds using their pharyngeal teeth and swim bladder. These fish are often appreciated in the aquarium trade for their vibrant colors and patterns. They typically inhabit reef environments and are known for their nocturnal feeding habits. Grunts are generally hardy and can adapt to life in captivity, making them suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists. They are social fish and do best in groups, adding dynamic activity to a community tank.
