Info

Plectropomus laevis lives in outer coral reef slopes seaward reefs and colonizes lagoons,
A coral trout goes through two distinct color phases: the "footballer phase," which is whitish with black saddles, a yellow caudal peduncle and yellow fins, and a grayish form with a dark head, five dark saddles along the back and small blue spots on the body.

The juveniles mimic the venomous saddleback pufferfish, Canthigaster valentini, for your protection.

The perch is a protogynous hermaphrodite (males are produced solely by sexual transformation of mature females).

Under optimal conditions, the perch can live up to 20 years.

Feeds primarily on fish and occasionally crustaceans. Prey consists of a variety of large reef fish, including groupers, and this diet of large fish is responsible for the high concentrations of ciguatera toxins.
