Carangoides ruber is a marine fish from the family Carangidae. It lives in the warm coastal waters of the Atlantic and often stays near coral reefs.
Differs from other carangids by the reddish color of the upper body and a black spot at the tail. This fish is important for the reef ecosystem because it controls the population of small animals.
Locomotion through water employed while searching for or capturing prey.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
