What fish is that? How much does it cost? The one below the Grouper. Im looking to purchase that fish.

The fish below the soap fish is a copperband butterflyfish. Inexpensive but difficult to keep alive. Live food feeding at least twice a day.

sooner or later that fire shrimp will be an expensive meal for your grouper :)

Not only the shrimp... Any fish, shrimp, crab small enough to fit into its mouth will be fair game...

Definitely a predator. If you have a grouper, all other fishes have to match its size or aggression...else hardly can survive.

Crustaceans serve as meal :(

Poor fire shrimp. Jus it's bad luck to be housed inside a reefer tank with a grouper who does not know about compatibility issue. Or maybe it was added purposely as a food source for this grouper?

Don't think its added as food source as its too expensive to use blood shrimp as food.

But its a nice time bomb there.
