Probably a Louti Grouper (Variola louti). They look just like Miniatus, as juveniles. There are two different types...Cherry and Skunk.
They grow large (30") and are highly aggressive. We have a 4" - 6" juvie in the 265, at the store and he beats up on the 8" Hippo, 8" Purple and 10" Orange Shoulder Tang.
Here's a shot, taken by me, of the one at the store:

Any reported growth rate on a Miniatus? Do they grow as quick as a Lionfish or a Panther?
I'm thinking about a small 3-5" one for my 75 (FOR NOW, save the flames
).
I am seriously considering converting my 240 long (96x24x24) into a Salt tank. It already has CF dual lighting, dual overflows, wet dry, and dual powerheads...simply change substrate and add a couple of skimmers and I'm in buisness.
So I'm wondering how long a 4" one will do in a 75 and how long I would have to prepare the 240 with LR and get it cycled in Salt.

When I was Chicago, I frequented Chicago Aquarium (now closed), Old Orchard Aquarium, in Skokie, Aquatic World, on Lincoln (now moved to new location), and very rarely Old Towne.
