Anyperodon leucogrammicus in Indonesia
Slender grouper

Anyperodon leucogrammicus (Valenciennes, 1828)
Family:	Serranidae (Sea basses: groupers and fairy basslets) , subfamily: Epinephelinae	picture (Anleu_u6.jpg) by Patzner, R.
Order:	Perciformes (perch-likes)
Class:	Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes)
FishBase name:	Slender grouper
Max. size:	65.0 cm TL (male/unsexed; Ref. 11441)
Environment:	reef-associated; non-migratory ; depth range 1 - 80 m
Climate:	tropical; 32°N - 24°S
Global Importance:	fisheries: minor commercial
Resilience:	Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.)
Distribution:	Indo-Pacific: Red Sea south to Mozambique and east to the Phoenix Islands, north to Japan, south to Australia. Probably including all the islands of the tropical Indian Ocean.
Diagnosis:	Dorsal spines (total): 11-11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-16; Anal spines: 3-3; Anal soft rays: 8-9. Juveniles with alternating blue and red stripes and 1or 2 black spots at caudal base (Ref. 4319).
Biology:	Inhabits coral rich areas and clear waters on lagoon and seaward reefs. Feeds mainly on fishes and probably on crustaceans. The distinctive blue and gold striped juveniles are mimics of the wrasse Halichoeres purpurescens. Juveniles mimic some of the small lined wrasses of the genus Halichoeres or dark damsels in surge zones (Ref. 48635). This allows the species to approach their preys. In Hong Kong live fish markets (Ref. 27253)
