Red V-Tail Grouper Cephalopholis urodelus
Also known as the Flag Tail Grouper and Banded Tail Sea Bass, its red body reflects sheens of grey and green in different lighting. The "V-Tail" portion of its common name comes from the two distinct nearly-iridescent stripes on its tail fin. With the potential to grow to nearly a foot in length, the Red V-Tail Grouper should be kept only in larger aquariums. In the home aquarium, it has little interest in corals, but may likely dislodge corals as it darts after its next meal. It may eat any fish that will fit into its mouth. Crustaceans, being part of its natural diet, will likely be eaten.
Feed meaty items such as fish pieces, mysis shrimp, cocktail shrimp and frozen preparations for carnivores.
