During a predation event a juvenile grouper, rock hind Epinephelus adscensionis, fed upon the redlip blenny Ophioblennius trinitatis. It is important to highlight that both individuals had pretty much the same size during the predation event (around 5 cm); however, the grouper ingested the whole prey.Durante um evento de predação um indivíduo juvenil de Epinephelus adscensionis (peixe-gato) alimentou-se de Ophioblennius trinitatis (macaquinho).
