School of Blue Striped Snapper (4)

Synopsis

The common bluestripe snapper is native to the Indian Ocean - from the coast of Africa and Red Sea to central Pacific. Adults inhabit coral reefs, occurring in both shallow lagoons and on outer reef slopes. Frequently found in large aggregations around coral formations, caves or wrecks during the day, they feed on fish, shrimp, crabs, cephalopods and planktonic crustaceans.
