The Coral trout is native to the western Pacific Ocean and its natural habitat includes open seas and coral reefs. Studies suggest that coral trout move around considerably within a single reef, though often no further than 500 meter (1,600 ft) from it.
Movement between neighbouring reefs does not occur to a large extent; however, there have been cases where fish have moved from one reef to another. Much of this movement may be the result of fish moving towards or away from spawning sites.
Initially described by French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède in 1802, the Coral trout belongs to a family of fish known as the Serranidae. This family included groupers and coral cod (not related to true cod), which are all characterised by having three spines on the gill cover and a large mouth lined with more than one row of sharp teeth.
