Description
The Panther Grouper is a striking and highly popular fish species in the aquarium trade. It is known for its unique black and white polka dot pattern that covers its body. It has a robust body shape and a large mouth, typical of groupers. This species is a carnivore and requires a diet of meaty foods.
Reef Safe
No, Panther Groupers are not reef safe. They will eat smaller fish and invertebrates, and can damage corals.
Environment
The Panther Grouper requires a large tank with plenty of hiding places. It prefers a sandy substrate and needs good water movement. The tank should have a tight-fitting lid to prevent the grouper from jumping out.
Behavior
Panther Groupers are generally peaceful but can be aggressive towards smaller fish, especially those small enough to be seen as prey. They are also territorial and need plenty of space to swim and hide.
