Info

Lethrinus variegatus has a tall body with a steep and slightly concave upper head profile, blue lines running from each eye across the forehead, and blue spots on the cheek.
The snapper is capable of "turning on" a brown spot pattern for camouflage.

The head profile and spots on the face best distinguish Lethrinus variegatus from the more common Lethrinus nebulosus (long-nosed road sweeper).

Juveniles of Lethrinus variegatus live in seagrass beds and mangrove swamps, while adults are found primarily on coral reefs.
This species feeds mainly on crustaceans and fish.

In populations in Australia, significantly more and smaller females than males have been recorded.

Synonyms:
Lethrinus anarhynchus Postel, 1965
Lethrinus fletus Whitley, 1943
Lethrinus lacticaudis Alleyne & MacLeay, 1877
