Aprion virescens Valenciennes, 1830
Green jobfish, 112cm

Aprion virescens is moderately common at Kwajalein. While they can be on pinnacle or seaward reefs, we seem to see them most often along lagoon reefs, usually by themselves. Fish eaters, they are occasionally ciguatoxic. Reported to reach about 112cm but ours are smaller.
