Panther Grouper

Panther Grouper 

The panther grouper, or humpback grouper, is a large predator that grows to 20 inches. Its particular body shape makes this grouper quite impossible to mix up with other fishes. Its body is compressed laterally and is relatively high. This stocky and strange visual effect is accented by its concave profile and its elongated snout which gives it a humpbacked appearance. The young have a white background with round black spots and are continuously swimming head down.
