The dory snapper, Lutjanus fulviflamma, also known as blackspot snapper, is a species of snapper native to the Indian Ocean and into the Pacific Ocean as far east as Samoa. They inhabit waters over rocky substrates at depths from 3 to 35 m (9.8 to 114.8 ft). The maximum length is 35.0 cm (13.8 in). The fish can be seen moving in large aggregations with other Lutjanus species such as Lutjanus kasmira, and Lutjanus lutjanus.[2]
