''Cephalopholis argus'', also known as roi, bluespotted grouper, argus grouper, peacock hind, peacock grouper or peacock rockcod, is a fish from the Indo-Pacific which is variously a commercial gamefish, an invasive species, and occasionally an aquarium resident. Its species name comes from its resemblance to the "hundred staring eyes" of the monster Argus in Greek mythology.

My diving friends from Philippines likes to joke, instead of thinking of the fish ID when they see the fish during a dive, they will be thinking, what dish they can cook with this and that fish! lol Posted 8 years ago
