Louti Grouper

Variola louti 

Reef Safe With Caution

The Louti Grouper is a visually striking fish that transforms from a unique juvenile into a vividly colored adult, reaching up to three feet in length and demanding a large, well-filtered aquarium with plenty of open swimming space. Known for its ambush-style hunting behavior, this grouper spends much of its time hiding and watching for prey, making it unsuitable for community tanks with smaller fish or invertebrates, which it may view as food. It thrives on a varied, protein-rich diet of meaty items like krill, raw shrimp, squid, clams, and mussels, with occasional herbivore supplements to support overall health. A true showpiece, the Louti Grouper brings bold color and powerful presence to predator-focused marine setups.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.

Due to variations within species, your item may not look identical to the image.

Measurements are measured from the tip of the head to end of the tail.
