Lutjanus quinquelineatus, commonly known as the five-lined snapper, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Lutjanidae. This species was first described by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Hennig. The five-lined snapper is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region, ranging from the eastern coast of Africa, including the Red Sea, to the islands of the central Pacific Ocean. It is typically found in coral reef environments, where it inhabits depths ranging from shallow waters to around 100 meters.

The five-lined snapper is easily recognizable by its distinctive coloration and pattern. It features a series of five longitudinal yellow stripes running along its body, set against a background that can vary from bluish to greenish-grey. The species can grow to a maximum length of about 30 centimeters, though individuals are more commonly observed at smaller sizes.

Lutjanus quinquelineatus is a carnivorous species, primarily feeding on smaller fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods. It is known for its nocturnal hunting habits, often forming large schools during the day and dispersing at night to feed. The species plays a significant role in the ecosystem as both a predator and prey, contributing to the balance of coral reef communities.

In terms of reproduction, the five-lined snapper is oviparous, with females releasing eggs into the water column, where they are fertilized externally. The larvae are planktonic, eventually settling onto the reef as they mature.

The five-lined snapper is of interest not only to marine biologists but also to the fishing industry and aquarium trade. It is considered a valuable food fish in many regions, although it is not typically targeted by large-scale commercial fisheries. Conservation efforts are important for maintaining healthy populations, particularly in areas where coral reefs are threatened by human activities and environmental changes.
