Aspect: The Tomtate is almost identical in shape to the Smallmouth Grunt with a streamlined body, but only one significant median yellow stripe, others being brown and thinner; dark semi-translucent fins and tail. Population: Common, in schools. Notable feature: The name "Grunt" is owed to the sound they can produce under stress. Environment: Usually found in schools on wrecks and large boulders. Behaviour: Schools can be easily approched, slowly of course.
