V tail grouper Profile

Cephalopholis urodelus

ℹ️ Overview

The V tail grouper (Cephalopholis urodelus), also known as the blue-spotted grouper, is distinguished by its vivid red body adorned with blue spots and a characteristic V-shaped tail. Native to the Indo-Pacific region, it inhabits coral reefs. This species features a stout body and a large mouth, typical of groupers. Despite its striking appearance, it is not particularly well-known in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its large size and predatory nature which can make it challenging to keep with other fish.
