Juveniles likely first attach to the gills of a fish and become males. As they mature, they become females, with mating likely occurring on the gills. The fertilized eggs are held in a marsupium, similar to a kangaroo. [12] If no female is present within two males, one male can turn into a female after it grows to 10 mm (0.4 in) in length. [13]
The eastern blue groper feeds mainly on crabs, shrimps, molluscs and echinoderms. Juvenile fish live in seagrass beds, where their diet is primarily small crustaceans . This fish is a monandric sequential hermaphrodite , always starting life as a female and becoming a male when it has reached a length of at least 60 cm (24 in).
