“Swallowing it all” – Extreme ingestion capability of juvenile reef fish

“Engolindo inteiro” – Extrema capacidade de ingestão de peixes recifais juvenis

During a predation event a juvenile grouper, rock hind Epinephelus adscensionis, fed upon the redlip blenny Ophioblennius trinitatis. It is important to highlight that both individuals had pretty much the same size during the predation event (around 5 cm); however, the grouper ingested the whole prey.
