Whiteblotched Grouper (Epinephelus multinotatus) on the Tug II wreck

Subject: The Whiteblotched Grouper (Epinephelus multinotatus) is one of the less common groupers found on the reefs of the Mascareignes Island (La Réunion, Mauritius, and Rodrigues). The subadult in this underwater video was a resident of the Tug II wreck on Mauritius' West coast for quite a while. Since adults prefer deeper waters, we can only assume that it left the safety of the little shallow artificial reef to find a new home in less accessible water for humans.
Technique: Capturing video footage of the Whiteblotched Grouper, as with any underwater footage, comes with its own set of challenges. On the day the video was filmed, the water was full of suspended particles, also known as marine snow. To remove most of the marine snow, a noise-reducing generator was used in post-production. However, not all suspended particles could be removed by the software, leading to some little specks drifting by in the final video clip.
