Potato grouper — size comparison — facts and sources
The potato grouper occupies deeper reef channels and seamounts in the Indo-Pacific. It favours current-swept places and is usually solitary. Large dark blotches on a pale background gave it its unusual common name.
It hunts reef fish, rays, crabs and spiny lobsters. It may defend the area it uses against other animals. Young occur in shallower habitats, including tide pools.
