Description
Look for the humpback red snapper during the daytime, as they gather to drift together in large schools near the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific. This nocturnal feeder becomes more elusive at night. A popular gamefish in the region, it is also valued in the commercial market, although its meat may be ciguatoxic. This species is often represented in large aquarium displays.
