Leaflip grouper

The Leaflip grouper (Pogonoperca punctata), also known as the Spotted soapfish, is predominantly grey with numerous small, dark spots covering its body and fins. This fish features a distinctive elongated third dorsal spine. It is native to the Indo-West Pacific region, found in reef environments. It has a unique appearance but is not commonly referred to as a well-known species within the aquarium hobby, largely due to its size and specific care requirements.
