This Goliath Grouper is one of a few that sit in a separate exhibit from the main tank at the Atlantis resort on the Palm Dubai. They used to be in the main tank but were moved because they ate 4 reef sharks and a barracuda!

This particular specimen was about 2 metres long (at a guess).

I really like the detail in the fish's eye. However I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of animal this is without reading the title. To make it more explicit you could try a fishier background such as water, bubbles, or another fish.

Definitely need the title to tell me what I was looking at. Armed with that info, it became very interesting.
