Goliath Grouper on the Ana Cecilia Wreck

A friendly and curious (or hungry) goliath grouper weighing in around 250lb. on the Ana Cecilia wreck. She's a 629-ton cargo vessel sunk just north of Lake Worth Inlet near Palm Beach, Florida. 170-foot long with many inside spaces to explore.

Visibility was poor; around 40 feet. Water temp 79. Moderate current. Depth around 80'.

Considering the coloration, the grouper was most likely a juvenile.
