English term or phrase: sand tilefish
Bonjour,

sauriez-vous comment traduire le terme "sand tilefish" ? Malgré mes recherches, je n'arrive pas à trouver le terme français pour ce poisson...

"The sand tilefish is remarkable too. He is simply tireless in its search through the sand and can dig up whole landscapes."

neutral  Catharine Cellier-Smart: (Matajuel blanc is also known as a "Vive" in the French Antilles); your suggestion is correct if the fish in question is "Malacanthus plumieri". If it's "Malacanthus latovittatus" it's "Malacanthe bleu" or "Matajuel bleu" (or "Sans Culotte in Mauritius!)

vive tropicale


Explanation:
La première référence ci-dessous de Guadeloupe confirme Malacanthus plumieri pour Sand Tilefish et le nom vernaculaire vive, d'autres source donnent "vive tropicale pour le même nom d'espèce, peut-être un tropisme continental: on précise "tropicale" quand on habite en France métropolitaine?
