How big do these guys get? My neighbor is offering me his for 15$. Are they aggressive?

Not reef safe and probably outgrow most home aquariums around

Huge and hungry.

Red snappers get huge. I mean huge. Did he offer it to you to eat? Because smoked red snapper is the best fish I have ever eatin in my life.

The state of Florida has a min size limit when you fish for them and its 16 inches. Don't know what type of tank you have but that's big.

From LiveAquaria:
Emperor Red Snapper

And a 360g would not be anywhere near large enough when the fish is full grown..

the best way to care for this fish is filet him,add butter and lemon some fresh herbs wrap in foil and toss it on the grill.........

LiveAquaria is not correct.....they can get close to four feet long and up into the 70 - 80 pound range.

I also agree with reefsandrotts care instuctions! Delicious!
