bright snapper are smaller not growing as large as a nannygia and im pretty sure they have an extra spin on their dorsal fin. Not 100% tho I would love to find out more

There's about 4 species of
There's about 4 or 5 species of fish from the family Berycidae (redfishes) that people commonly refer to as 'nannygai'. Three of which are commonly caught here in WA: the swallowtail (Centroberyx lineatus), yellow-eye red snapper (Centroberyx australis) and the bight redfish (Centroberyx gerradi). C. gerradi is the largest of the three, and probably the most commonly caught by rec anglers.

Red Snapper - Centroberyx gerrardiAlso known as Bight Redfish, Red Snapper are deep bodied fish with a red upper back fading to a silver belly, six dorsal spines and a very obvious white lateral line. All fins are edged with white. The eye is red. The tail is forked but not so deeply as the Swallowtail and the head is less rounded than the true Nannygai (Centroberyx affinis).
They grow to 4.6kgs and 66cms in length.
Red Snapper are considered excellent eating.
They are endemic to Australia and are found from Lancelin Western Australia, south around to Bass Strait, northern Tasmania, in waters to 300 metres.
