Author: (Cope, 1867)
FBname: Conchfish
Comments: Prefers clear insular waters of oceanic islands (Ref. 9626).  Has a commensal relationship with the conch shell <i>Lobatus gigas</i> (where it is found in the mantle cavity) and with the bivalve <i>Atrina rigida</i> (Ref. 9626).  Emerges at night from the conch shell to feed on small crustaceans.  Males brood the eggs in their mouths.  (Ref. 26938).
