Liopropoma ( Gr .: "Leio" = smooth + "pro" = before + "poma", - "atos" = cover, operculum ) is a genus of groupers (Epinephelidae) in the tropical Indo-Pacific (approx. 2/3 of the species ), in the tropical western Atlantic (approx. 1/3 of the species) and in the eastern Atlantic near the Cape Verde Islands (1 species). Because of their small size, the fish are often referred to as dwarf groupers in German.
features
Liopropoma species are small groupers, sharp-mouthed, relatively elongated and reach lengths of 6 to 27 cm. Their color is often reddish or brownish, monochrome or with dark or yellowish vertical stripes. A combination of the following characteristics are considered diagnostic characteristics of the genus. The dorsal fin is continuous or divided and is supported by 8 spines and 11 to 14 soft rays. The anal fin has 3 spines and 8 to 11 soft rays. The body is covered with weak comb scales. The sideline is continuous and runs in an arc shape above the pelvic fins. The number of lateral line scales provided with pores is between 43 and 67. Both jaws are covered with a row of brush-like (villiform) teeth. Canines are missing. There are three spines on the gill cover .
