Looks to be some sort of grouper though the color is really unusual. Cool shot!

@MontereyJohn: My husband thinks it may be in the bass family...I think I may have to forward the image to the aquarium to get an answer. I always mean to write these things down or take a picture of the information sign...but I get so caught up in the images I forget! LOL

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States

I agree with MJ. It is some kind of grouper - there are all kinds. And you have found a very handsome one in this photo.

@Viewfinder: Think I'll send the aquarium the picture and ask them...
Thanks
