This fish has "made the rounds" taxonomically, being placed in other
genera (more recently Epinephelus). Tropical eastern Pacific. Cute when
small, this species grows quickly to a large size, to three feet long in
the wild. A twelve inch individual in the Galapagos. |

1812), the Bluelined Hind. Indo-west Pacific. To thirteen

with other similar-appearing fishes. Pulau Redang, Malaysia.
