Benthic (Ref. 58302).  Males prepare nesting sites by overgrazing a patch of coral (Ref. 9710).   Oviparous.  Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114).  Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).  Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 30874.
