Hello. I cannot not seem to find anything on this fish (Blue and Yellow grouper Epinephelus flavocaeruleus) There does not seem to much out there when it comes to what type of fish you can put with them or any suggestions as far as what they like in an aquarium habitat. Does anyone out there know anything about these, like how big they get or anything?
Thanks.

Epinephelus flavocaeruleus (Lacepede 1802), the Blue and Yellow Grouper. Indian Ocean, but not the Red Sea. To almost three feet in length in the wild.
Adults have yellow fins. Small juveniles about half blue, half yellow
Juveniles inhabit shallow reefs while adults are found on deeper reefs. Feeds on a variety of fishes, crabs, shrimps, spiny lobsters, squids, and small octopi.
Best served with butter, haha.
