What kind of fish is this.

It’s from the Gulf coast of Florida I had a pair but one didn’t make it.

I have seen them scuba diving before but can’t find it in any fish books or internet?

Scuba divers call them drum fish. That's the family they are in. We see a bunch of spotted drum in the Carribbean.

The tang was for size comparison

Thanks, I have a 65 gallon display now I can plan on what to expect size wise. So far its a great fish but not eating much.

He will be too big for a 65 gal tank. 9 inches. Look him up. Not beautiful as an adult
