Common name: Coral Trout

Plectropomus is a genus of reef fish in the family Serranidae, commonly known as Coral Trouts or Leopard Coral Groupers. These fish are prized in the aquarium trade for their vibrant colors and patterns. They are predatory and can grow quite large, making them suitable for spacious tanks with ample hiding places. Plectropomus species are also known for their role in coral reef ecosystems as top predators. They require a varied diet of meaty foods and should be kept with other large, non-competitive fish to avoid aggression.
