The Grey Snapper: Lutjanus The gray snapper belongs to the snapper family Lutjanus, which includes the famous Red Snapper, Dog Snapper, and Schoolmaster. The gray snapper is able to change color to match its environment instantly as a defense mechanism, giving it camouflage to protect it from predators, and to sneak up on prey. The gray snapper, as with the rest of the Lutjanus family, are commercially fished all over the world, and are well known as some of the best tasting fish in the ocean. Some of the types include the Lane snapper, the Red snapper, Cherry snapper, Yellowtail snapper, and about 14 other species thoughout North America in the Atlantic Ocean. Notice the large Gray Snapper's mouth opened when I came in to photograph him up close, showing his teeth, perhaps as a warning not to get too close?
