Hey all...picked up this grouper who was mis-marked at the local ***** when I was in there for salt..couldn't resist his 3.99 price tag :)
Never saw one with the white spotting on him. Anyone know the specific species? His white spots disappear and reappear depending on his mood. Thanks.

I'm not 100% positive, but it appears to me to be a juvenile Bumblebee Grouper. Others may have a better ID.
If it's a Bumblebee, you'd better get rid of it now, unless you have room for a VERY fast growing, onery fish, that'll max out around 6'(+/-).

It looks like Epinephelus flavocoeruleus... ie. Blue and Yellow Grouper
