White Edged Lyretail Grouper (Variola albimarginata) is a semi-aggressive species that is reef-safe with caution, admired for its brilliant reddish-orange body, white-edged lyre-shaped tail, bold spots, and elegant elongated shape.

Males typically grow larger, display brighter coloration, and develop stronger territorial behavior, while females/juveniles are smaller, with slightly duller tones and less pronounced fin extensions.

They reach about 20–24 inches (50–60 cm) in adulthood and should be housed in aquariums of at least 250 gallons (larger preferred). Provide ample live rock for caves and hiding spots, a sandbed, and plenty of open swimming space, along with stable water parameters (salinity ~1.020–1.025, temp ~72–79°F, pH ~8.1–8.4), and a secure lid since many species are prone to jumping.

Diet should consist of a meaty variety: mysis shrimp, krill, silversides, squid, marine pellets, and other protein-rich foods. With proper care, this fish makes a striking showpiece predator and a standout addition to the aquarium.
