| Aspect: | The French Grunt may appear, depending on prevailing light and environment, yellow with blue stripes, but is in fact light silver with yellow stripes. All fins are yellow, including the large tail one. |
| Population: | Common. |
| Notable feature: | Top two lines on either side of dorsal fin tidy and parallel, all others below are diagonal. The name "Grunt" is owed to the sound they can produce under stress. |

| Behaviour: | The French Grunt is slightly shy, but can be approached slowly. |
