It occurs in shallow coral reefs as well as deeper offshore waters (Woods and Greenfield, 1978). A nocturnal species, hiding in deep crevices or under coral ledges during the day; at night, it usually moves over sand and seagrass beds, taking mainly crabs and other small crustaceans (Greenfield, 1981). Maximum length published is 610 mm TL. An amphi-Atlantic species. In the West Atlantic, it ranges from North Carolina, USA and Bermuda to Brazil (Woods and Greenfield, 1978; Robins and Ray, 1986; Greenfield, 2003). In the mid-Atlantic: St. Paul’s Rocks, Ascension and St. Helena Islands (Wirtz et al., 2007).

Inhabits coral reefs and hard bottom areas. Observed in feeding aggregations above reefs. Feeds mainly in midwater on zooplankton (copepods, pelagic tunicates, shrimps and shrimp larvae) (Heemstra and Randall, 1993; Lieske and Myers, 1994). Paranthias Guichenot, 1868 is a unique genus of groupers that have a small mouth [with a more protrusible upper jaw than in other groupers], small teeth, numerous [long] gill rakers, fusiform body, and deeply forked caudal fin – all representing departures from the typical grouper morphology, and all specializations for feeding in mid-water on zooplankton (Randall, 1967). Paranthias feed mainly on small planktonic animals that are picked individually from the water, and their shortened snout (compared to other groupers), which facilitates close-range binocular vision, is thus another specialization for this type of plankton feeding (Heemstra and Randall, 1993). Maximum length published is 300 mm SL. It seems to be primarily a western Atlantic species, distributed from Bermuda and south Florida, USA to São Paulo, Brazil (Heemstra and Randall, 1993). In the mid-Atlantic: Ascension Island (Cadenat and Marchal, 1963; Wirtz et al., 2014).

Found in shallow water and around coral and rocky reefs (Tyler, 1978). Usually remains near the bottom, hiding among gorgonians and branching coral (Lieske and Myers, 1994). Feeds on bottom growth, primarily sponges and algae, but stomachs often contain tunicates, bryozoans and other sessile benthic invertebrates (Böhlke and Chaplin, 1993). Young are pelagic and highly important food items in the diet of large predaceous fishes such as tunas and billfishes (Tyler, 1978). Maximum length published is 200 mm TL (Robins and Ray, 1986).
