Common name: Snappers

Lutjanus is a genus of marine fish known commonly as snappers, which are popular in the aquarium trade for their bright colors and hardy nature. These fish are typically found in warmer waters and are known for their distinctive body shape, with a sloped profile and a large mouth. They are carnivorous, feeding on a diet of smaller fish and invertebrates. In the wild, they are often found around reefs and are known to form large schools. Snappers can grow to a considerable size, so they require spacious tanks with plenty of hiding places and room to swim.
