Sea Basses & Groupers

“The Serranidae family is one of the most diverse and important groups of predators on the Pacific reef. Ranging from the small, colorful Hamlets hiding in the seagrass to the robust Groupers patrolling the rock walls, these fish are united by their large mouths and powerful bodies.

Most members of this family are ambush predators. They rely on excellent camouflage and patience, waiting motionless for prey to pass by before striking with lightning speed. In Bahia Solano, you will often find them sheltering under ledges or claiming specific caves as their territory.”
