Comments: Occurs on seaward reefs, in areas of moderate to rich coral growth.  Typically at the bases of coral heads on hard bottoms (Ref. 9710).  Benthic (Ref. 58302).  Feeds about equally on small fishes, shrimps and crabs; to a lesser extent, on sipunculids and zooplankton (larval shrimps, copepods, amphipods and larval gastropods) (Ref. 3921).
