The Eastern Blue Groper (Achoerodus viridis) is a member of the Wrasse family and grows to around 1.2m in length. Although all of these fish start their lives as females, some will change into males and transform their colour to blue. You can see both males and females (or perhaps immature fish) in the video. Persecuted by spearfishers because of their eating qualities and their inquisitive and friendly nature, they now enjoy complete protection from underwater hunters and have been given the status of New South Wales' State fish.

I used to visit Fairy Bower and Shelly beach as a kid to go fishing. Now 30 years later I returned to find the whole area is a protected marine reserve. When I donned a mask and snorkel I couldn't believe the number and variety of fishes in the bay. It seems that since the area has been protected it has burst back into a flurry of life. What a wonderful treasure to have on the doorstep of a capital city and so easily accessible to people who only want to snorkel. I didn't have much time to spend there on this visit but will certainly be heading back their next time I'm in Sydney.
How many different types of fish can you see in the video?
In addition to the Eastern Blue Gropers in the video ( there is also a younger one which is brown in colour) there are numerous other types of fishes. Feel free to ID any that you can. Below is a list of some that appear in the video;
Australian Mado (Atypichthys strigatus)
Luderick (Girella tricuspidata)
Yellowfin Bream (Acanthopagrus australis)
Maori Wrasse (Ophthalmolepis lineolatus)
Eastern Hulafish (Trachinops taeniatus)
Crimson Banded Wrasse (Notolabrus gymnogenis)
Hardyheads (Antherinidae) ??
Rockcod?
Garfish?
Damselfish?

Blue gropers are two fish species from the genus Achoerodus. They are found in the coastal waters of southern Australia and distinguished by the bright blue colouring of the adult males. The eastern blue groper (Achoerodus viridis) is found from Hervey Bay in southern Queensland to Wilsons Promontory in Victoria. The range of the western blue groper (Achoerodus gouldii) stretches from the Houtman Abrolhos in Western Australia to west of Melbourne. Despite their name, they are not groupers, but wrasses (family Labridae).
The thick bodied blue gropers have peg teeth, heavy scales, a large tail and thick lips. Juveniles are brown to green brown. Adult females are brown to reddish-brown. Each scale may have a darker red spot. The adult males have the bright blue colouring that give the fish their name. The blue can range from deep navy to cobalt blue, and there may also be darker or yellow-orange spots or lines around the eyes.
All blue gropers begin their life as females. As they mature, they go through an initial phase, in which they may be male or female, before developing their adult colouring and reaching the terminal phase. Eastern blue gropers have been known to grow to 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length and weights of 22 kg (49 lb), although fish over 15 kg are rare. The western species is larger, reaching 1.6 m (5.2 ft) and 40 kg (88 lb).

Great for visitors to Sydney to see wide range of sea life all protected from fishing or spear fishing. Best in Summer Early Autumn High tide around 8am to 12 etc. Shop right there for takeaway food etc as well. One of the great things to see in Sydney for the swimmer or snorkeler.

Swimming with a Blue Groper
Say hello to a rare species which makes its home at a only a few select places in Australia. The Blue Groper grows to 1.5 meters and is usually surrounded by an entourage of little scavengers. I filmed this one and several of the family at Clovelly, Sydney, Australia. Clovelly is ideal for snorkelling. The bay presents a barrier at the mouth which keeps out bigger predators meaning that it is usually teeming with fish and a tasty morsel like the Blue Groper can safely make many babies before moving on. I've been swimming with the Gropers on a regular basis and they have come to know and recognise me which I think is fantastic as they let me get very close without any worries and they even come over to greet me. PS: They are protected species and spearfishers will be shot, gutted and tur... -

Shelly Beach, Manly: Blue Groper Encounters at Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve
Not a snorkel goes by that i am not greeted by George the Groper. If you have ever met him, you know of his inquisitive nature and impact he can have on your day to day life. Here are some of his antics shot with a GoPro 3 Black on one amazing morning during autumn, 2014. Song: Our House, Crosby Stills and Nash The Eastern Blue Groper (Achoerodus viridis) is a member of the Wrasse family and grows to approximtely 1.2m in length. Due to its inquisitive nature these fish have long been hunted by spear fisherman, resulting in a widespread decline in population numbers. Since the establishment of Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve in 1993, countless species of fish, rays, carpet shark and invertebrates have been able to use the reserve to live, feed and reproduce with minimal intrusion or ris...

The Eastern Blue Groper (Achoerodus viridis) is a member of the Wrasse family and grows to around 1.2m in length. Although all of these fish start their lives as females, some will change into males and transform their colour to blue. You can see both males and females (or perhaps immature fish) in the video. Persecuted by spearfishers because of their eating qualities and their inquisitive and friendly nature, they now enjoy complete protection from underwater hunters and have been given the status of New South Wales' State fish.
Best viewed in HD at 720p.
I used to visit Fairy Bower and Shelly beach as a kid to go fishing. Now 30 years later I returned to find the whole area is a protected marine reserve. When I donned a mask and snorkel I couldn't believe the number and variety of fishes in the bay. It seems that since the area has been protected it has burst back into a flurry of life. What a wonderful treasure to have on the doorstep of a capital city and so easily accessible to people who only want to snorkel. I didn't have much time to spend there on this visit but will certainly be heading back their next time I'm in Sydney.
How many different types of fish can you see in the video?
In addition to the Eastern Blue Gropers in the video ( there is also a younger one which is brown in colour) there are numerous other types of fishes. Feel free to ID any that you can. Below is a list of some that appear in the video;
Australian Mado (Atypichthys strigatus)
Luderick (Girella tricuspidata)
Yellowfin Bream (Acanthopagrus australis)
Maori Wrasse (Ophthalmolepis lineolatus)
Eastern Hulafish (Trachinops taeniatus)
Crimson Banded Wrasse (Notolabrus gymnogenis)
Hardyheads (Antherinidae) ??
Rockcod?
Garfish?
Damselfish?
etc
wn.com/Snorkelling With Blue Groper Shelly Beach, Manly Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve
The Eastern Blue Groper (Achoerodus viridis) is a member of the Wrasse family and grows to around 1.2m in length. Although all of these fish start their lives as females, some will change into males and transform their colour to blue. You can see both males and females (or perhaps immature fish) in the video. Persecuted by spearfishers because of their eating qualities and their inquisitive and friendly nature, they now enjoy complete protection from underwater hunters and have been given the status of New South Wales' State fish.
Best viewed in HD at 720p.
I used to visit Fairy Bower and Shelly beach as a kid to go fishing. Now 30 years later I returned to find the whole area is a protected marine reserve. When I donned a mask and snorkel I couldn't believe the number and variety of fishes in the bay. It seems that since the area has been protected it has burst back into a flurry of life. What a wonderful treasure to have on the doorstep of a capital city and so easily accessible to people who only want to snorkel. I didn't have much time to spend there on this visit but will certainly be heading back their next time I'm in Sydney.

Say hello to a rare species which makes its home at a only a few select places in Australia. The Blue Groper grows to 1.5 meters and is usually surrounded by an entourage of little scavengers. I filmed this one and several of the family at Clovelly, Sydney, Australia. Clovelly is ideal for snorkelling. The bay presents a barrier at the mouth which keeps out bigger predators meaning that it is usually teeming with fish and a tasty morsel like the Blue Groper can safely make many babies before moving on.
I've been swimming with the Gropers on a regular basis and they have come to know and recognise me which I think is fantastic as they let me get very close without any worries and they even come over to greet me.
PS: They are protected species and spearfishers will be shot, gutted and turned into chum if caught hunting these beautiful animals.

Not a snorkel goes by that i am not greeted by George the Groper. If you have ever met him, you know of his inquisitive nature and impact he can have on your day to day life.
Here are some of his antics shot with a GoPro 3 Black on one amazing morning during autumn, 2014.
Song: Our House, Crosby Stills and Nash
The Eastern Blue Groper (Achoerodus viridis) is a member of the Wrasse family and grows to approximtely 1.2m in length. Due to its inquisitive nature these fish have long been hunted by spear fisherman, resulting in a widespread decline in population numbers. Since the establishment of Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve in 1993, countless species of fish, rays, carpet shark and invertebrates have been able to use the reserve to live, feed and reproduce with minimal intrusion or risk of exploitation.
Hope you enjoy!
P.s. Please excuse the editing, this is my first YouTube video. More to come!
