Miniatus grouper question

[asylumdown]

Does anyone know how large of a fish a full grow miniatus grouper will eat? I'm assuming bangaii cardinals would vanish rapidly, but what about anthias or the pygmy angelfish?

I had a medium(ish) one once that gobbled up a 2 inch snapper. I swear those guys can unhinge their jaws and swallow food.

anthias are its favorite food in the wild angel fish are ok because they have spines and are hard to eat when i had mine he took a chunk out of his mate one day who was 2 tiime his size grouper are strictly a predictor

Alright then definitely not for this tank! I don't think I could easily capture my anthias without doing a 95% water change.
