Epinephelus quoyanus
Feeds on crustaceans, fishes, and worms. The enlarged fleshy pectoral fins appear to have resulted from its habit of sitting on the substrate.
Coral sea lagoon. Inhabits inshore silty reefs; there are no records from depths greater than 50 m.
Very similar to the Honeycomb grouper, E. merra: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/406...
