Comments: Found over sandy substrates (Ref. 5595, 55922).  Juveniles may be found in shallow water near rocks while adults forage in deeper regions with sandy substrate (Ref. 5595).  Feeds on small fish (Ref. 5595, 55922) and invertebrates (Ref. 55922).  Half-grown individuals have been observed to remain motionless, partially buried in the sand, waiting for small fishes to come within reach (Ref. 55922).
