http://reefbuilders.com/2011/06/15/hybrid-panther-bumblebee-grouper/ - an indirect reference - this is a man made hybrid using the species. This species is a FOODFISH, and can reach lengths of 8 feet. While sold in the aquarium hobby, probably shouldn't be. This is a case where "Tank Raised" fish may in fact be farm-raised groupers from foodfish production.
