Lead
Paraplesiops is a genus containing five largely allopatric species of fishes in the longfin, or roundhead, family Plesiopidae, commonly known as blue devils, bluedevils, or blue devilfish because of their colouration. The genus is most similar to the tropical genera Plesiops and Fraudella. It is restricted to subtropical and temperate rocky and coral reefs in Australian waters. Its species are mostly cryptic, occurring in submarine caves, crevices and under rocky ledges.

The blue devilfish is observed with a strip design containing yellow coloration on the pectoral and caudal fins. It has elongated pelvic, posterior dorsal and anal fins which allowing blue devils to look larger to other fish and predators.

Paraplesipos often hide unless food is available, they are very friendly fish unless around their prey. The Paraplesiops Groupers eat small fish or crustaceans. Their food consist of enriched meats including Brine, black worms, fiddler crabs, and Glass/Grass shrimp. These fish only feed every other day due to their low metabolism.
