{"product_id":"red-emperor-snapper-fish","title":"Red Emperor Snapper Fish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Red Emperor Snapper, *Lutjanus sebae*, is a striking and robust fish known for its vibrant red coloration and distinctive markings. Juveniles display prominent white bands across their body, which fade as they mature, leaving a predominantly red fish with subtle darker markings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum tank size of 250 gallons is recommended to accommodate the potential adult size of this species. Provide ample open swimming space along with rocky overhangs and caves for shelter. While generally peaceful with tankmates too large to be considered prey, they can be territorial, especially as they grow. They are not suitable for reef aquariums as they will consume smaller fish and invertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Emperor Snapper is a carnivorous species and should be offered a varied diet of high-quality marine pellets, frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, krill, and chopped fish or squid. They are active hunters and will readily accept food offered in the water column. In a home aquarium, they can reach a size of up to 24 inches, though they may grow larger in the wild. There are no readily apparent visual differences between males and females. Breeding in a home aquarium is not common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lutjanus sebae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075832111393,"sku":"TT-6290-S","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075832144161,"sku":"TT-6290-M","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075832176929,"sku":"TT-6290-L","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4044\/4961\/files\/Red-Emperor-Snapper-Fish-7.jpg?v=1784975373","url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/red-emperor-snapper-fish","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
