Hello Everyone,
Ok, so Nassau Grouper may not ACTUALLY be magic, but they can do some pretty magical things. This amazing fish can actually change its color, and they do it surprisingly fast. Below is a picture of the Nassau’s different colors, or what the scientists, “color phases.” Grouper can change their color for a number of reasons, such as communication and for camouflage.
Can you think of any other animals that have this unique ability?

A chameleon and an octopus, and a sea horse can all change colors, but that is cool how this fish can change colors so fast!

Yes! Great job, SamE!
When grouper moon change their color, do they do it without thinking or not?
Hi Stas,
That’s a great question. I’m unsure what they are thinking. What do you think?
