Grouper id

[HAAAAAAAA]

My lfs sent me these pics of the two groupers, just wondering what these are?

They look cool so I thought of placing the order.

The mouth is too long and narrow for it to be a bumble, they are quite different unless theres a similar species

I can try helping you out. Do you know where they were imported from? The first one looks too stressed for me to see any details and the 2nd one gives off xanthic vibes

I really appreciate the help.

I'll be getting them both this Sunday so I can get some better pictures of them then, the location is kind of complicated since the three oceans are met together in that specific geography, such as the arabian sea, eastern bay of bengal and the southern indian ocean meet.

Xanthism seems to make the most sense for the second one, do you think the whole body might turn orange?
