Lutjanus kasmira
Features a vibrant yellow body with four horizontal electric-blue stripes. They are one of the smaller snapper species available in the hobby but are still voracious predators that will eat any tank mate small enough to fit in their mouths.
About the Snappers Family
Snappers are hardy, active predators that grow quite large. They are best suited for large fish-only tanks with other aggressive species. They are voracious eaters that will consume any smaller fish or invertebrates, so they are not suitable for reef tanks or community tanks with small peaceful fish.
