"Similar in appearance to the snowy grouper (Epinephelus niveatus), the yellowedge grouper (Hyporthodus flavolimbatus) can be distinguished by its bright yellow eyes and fin margins, accounting for the common name ‘yellowedge’. The rest of its body is a greyish-brown, with white tips on the dorsal and pectoral fins. The yellowedge grouper is a deep water fish, with an individual once reported at a depth of 390 meters. However, it is more commonly found between depths of 125 and 300 meters (400-1,000 ft)."
