A Queensland grouper lurking beneath Navy Pier in Exmouth, Western Australia. Grouper among the largest of all bony fish, and the Queensland grouper is no exception. Growing to lengths of 2.7 (8.9 feet) and weighing 400kg,(800lbs), these fish truly deserve their alternate name "giant grouper".
When you encounter these massive fish, you may feel a bit intimidated, since they tend to sneak up on you. But don't be alarmed; they are harmless. Just watch your cameras. I've heard rumors of groupers swallowing cameras.
