The Blue Spotted Grouper (Cephalopholis argus) is a semi-aggressive species that is reef-safe with caution, admired for its striking blue spots, elongated body, bold hunting behavior, and impressive size.

Males typically grow larger with brighter coloration and more vivid spotting, often displaying territorial behavior, while females and juveniles tend to be smaller with slightly duller patterns. They reach about 20 inches in length and should be housed in aquariums of at least 250 gallons.

Provide ample live rock with caves and hiding spots, along with open swimming space to accommodate their active hunting style. Maintain stable water parameters (salinity ~1.020–1.025, temp ~72–79°F, pH ~8.1–8.4), and ensure a secure lid since this species can be prone to jumping.

Diet should consist of meaty foods such as silversides, squid, shrimp, krill, and occasionally enriched frozen preparations. With proper care, this fish makes a standout centerpiece predator in large marine aquariums.
