EOL Text
"Distinctly coloured, Blueline Snappers have a bright yellow back and sides, with the lower sides and underside of head fading to white. Four bright-blue stripes run longitudinally on the side of the fish, with several faint greyish stripes on lowermost part of sides. All fins are yellow. Inspite of being one of the most common medium-sized fish in the reef, the demand for this fish species for their delicious flesh is so high that they have been introduced to Hawaii, and are fished in large numbers. Blueline snappers usually swim in large schools, or groups, around the reef, caves, and even shipwrecks. They have been known to steal food from other Hawaiian fishes and crowd them out of their homes on the reef."

Bluestripe snappers are one of the most common medium-sized fish on a reef. They usually swim in large schools, or groups, around the reef, caves, and even shipwrecks. When it is time to mate, they sometimes dance in circles with their partners towards the surface of the water.
