Hello Everyone!

Nassau Grouper are truly a unique and beautiful fish. Something that really makes them stand out is their ability to change color. Much like an octopus, the Nassau Grouper can change their color in the blink of an eye. Grouper change their color for a number of reasons, such as camouflage. The Nassau can make itself lighter or darker to better blend in with its habitat.  Another purpose of its color changing behavior is for communication. The Nassau will often change its coloration when it encounters other Nassau, to let them know they see them. How cool is that?!

Here is a graphic showing the different color phases of the grouper:
