Graysby

Aspect:	Amongst the smaller groupers with the Coney, features typical sea bass outline, but also comes in a variety of somewhat marbled colours, including pale green-bronze with brown dots, white-pink with red dots dark grey, but also plain brass with red dots. However, it must be born in mind that the Graysby can drastically change colour as evidenced by the first two photos below showing the same fish a few seconds apart!
Population:	Ubiquitous.
Notable feature:	Whatever the overal livery, three dark spots along base of dorsal spine differentiates it from the similarly sized Coney, or larger Red and Rock Hinds.
Environment:	Close to bottom in quiet waters, around rocks and coral boulders.
Behaviour:	Quiet, sociable.
