More about African grouper
The African grouper (Cephalopholis taeniops) is a marine fish that exhibits a reddish-brown color, with its body adorned with small blue spots. Native to the eastern Atlantic, including the Gulf of Guinea and Cape Verde, this species is recognized for its robust, laterally compressed body. It is not particularly well-known in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its size and requirements that make it less suitable for typical home aquarium setups.
