Can someone ID this?

I think it's a grouper of some kind. And not sure what kind of starfish this is specifically. Thanks!

Wow, I have never seen a starfish like that! Such a stunning red color.
As for the fish, it has the characteristics of a baby grouper, especially with the sail on its back, but not sure what kind of grouper it would be exactly. The coloration is much different than that of the common goliath grouper.

The starfish could possibly be a fromia. Not too sure on the fish.

Are they wild caught? If so, a location might help narrow it down.

 

[IloveLPS]

I don't have a location unfortunately.

That was my thought on the starfish.

Figured it out: it's a blacktip grouper.

You are putting them in your tank?

Yes, Epinephelus fasciatus, blacktip grouper, and the star is Fromia milleporella, blacktip fromia.

No, they are at a LFS.
