Comments: This species was observed in coral-reef habitat; generally encountered solitary or in small groups in about 5-15 m depth. It is also taken by trawlers in deeper water (to at least 50 m) and usually appears in fish markets. Few information on juvenile habitat, but suspected to be similar to <i>L. russellii</i> where young are found in brackish mangrove estuaries and lower reaches of freshwater streams (Ref. 93093).
