Grammatonotus pelipel, also known as barred groppo,[1][2] is a species of bony fish in the family Callanthiidae,[3][4] endemic to deep reefs of Pohnpei Island, Micronesia.[2] The etymology of its scientific name pelipel comes from the Pohnpeian language which means tattoo or tattooed, due to the small faded stripes that juveniles have.[5]
