It was because of your continued failure to understand about this
d business that I did not trust your spelling of "grouper" and
thought it referred to "groper" - (ignoring more obscene thoughts
that you are fond of)

<http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/students/focus/aviridis.htm>

has a nice pic of what I often see. I was not sure if there was
such a fish as a grouper, it seems that the ame is used:

"Groupers are fish of any of a number of genera in the subfamily
Epinephelinae of the family Serranidae, in the order Perciformes"

from Wiki.
