Info

Lutjanus madras inhabits coral reefs, including areas with low coral outcrops, sponges and sea whips (gorgonians).
This snapper is often misidentified as Lutjanus lutjanus (Bloch, 1790).

The snappers are not important for the aquarium, but they do have their charm for sport fishermen.

Synonym: Mesoprion madras (Valenciennes, 1831)
