Solitary carnivore lurks in wrecks, reef shadows, or ledges; draws prey into gullet by powerful suction from opening large mouth; swallows prey whole after holding it in small rasp like teeth that cover the jaws, tongue and palate. Rock Hind fish are hermaphroditic and are in the Serranidae / Sea basses (Groupers) family beginning life as females, then change to males with maturity.
