The mighty goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) may live its larval stage in the mangrove nursery of a brackish estuary before heading to the reefs to grow and mature. Adults of this critically endangered species can grow to lengths of 3 m (10 ft), and weigh as much as 360 kg (790 lb). This individual, encountered on Pulley Ridge, has a spiny lobster antenna protruding from its gill, indicating successful hunting.
