Genus
Common name: Grouper
Scientific name: Cephalopholis
Cephalopholis is a genus of fish in the family Serranidae, commonly known as groupers. These marine fish are popular in the aquarium trade for their robust size and striking colors. They exhibit interesting behaviors and can be quite personable. However, they require large tanks due to their potential size and are predatory, so tank mates must be chosen with care to avoid predation. They are also known for their protogynous hermaphroditism, where individuals can change sex from female to male during their life cycle.
