The Western Buffalo Bream is a stocky, silvery-grey fish that inhabits rocky and reef areas across southern Australian waters. Named for the pronounced hump on its head, this species grazes on algae and small invertebrates in shallow to moderate depths. Solitary or in loose groups, it is recognisable by its robust build and blunt snout, and represents a common sight for divers exploring temperate reefs.
