The Blue Groper (Achoerodus gouldii) is a large species of wrasse native to southern Australian coastal waters, from Western Australia to Victoria. Known for their distinctive blue coloration and robust size, these fish inhabit rocky reefs and kelp beds at depths of 1–65 meters. Their diet includes crustaceans, mollusks, and starfish. They are ecologically significant and protected in parts of Australia due to overfishing and habitat concerns
