what is the coolest looking grouper?(pics if possible)
 
Here are my favorites:

First is the saddle back grouper (Plectropomus laevis), followed by the Polleni Grouper (Cephalopholis polleni)

Will you settle for soapfish? they are the same family but tend to be a bit smaller. here are a couple that I love the look of,

my fav r blue-lined groupers.
 
groupers are awesome. awesome to fish for in the gulf of mexico
 
If I had a big enough tank, I would definatley get a panther grouper(pis is in gupp's post). Plain and simple...they get big and are a cool color.
