When I bought this one I was told it is a louti grouper. But I couldn't find any other pics online that matches like this one. Any Idea on if it is louti grouper or something else please?

looks like a miniatus grouper to me, some people call them coral trout. hth

miniatus grouper has black/blue tail and yellowish fin. this one neither has black/blue tail nor yellowish fin.
EDIT: tail shape differ from miniatus too.

Lyretail grouper and louti grouper are same I think. That's when I got confused since I couldn't find a pic that matches mine. thanks for clearing.

Gorgeous fish! How big do they get?! How big of a tank do you have it in? Very cool.

They get upto 3' and I have it in 75gal. When I bought it 8 months ago LFS agreed to take it back when it gets too big for the tank.
