This stunning fish is almost never available for purchase, so when it is, collectors clamor for it paying upwards of $6,000. It’s a deep water fish, presenting many challenges in collecting it, including the need for the divers to rise slowly to allow decompression not only for themselves but for the specimens they collected. Very few are found in shallow enough waters that allow them to be caught. Juvenile groupers coloration tends to differ drastically from that of full grown adults. The juvenile Neptune Grouper displays brilliant shades of yellow and orange, while the adult displays a brilliant pink coloration with bright yellow bands. If you are ever lucky enough to own this fish it will definitely elicit “oohs and ahhs” from all that are treated to a peek.
