Comments: This species is a scraper and has been recorded to graze upon epilithic algae growing on rocky and calcareous substrata at 10-25 m depth.  The males are solitary, whereas the females may be seen alone or in couples and accompanied by juveniles.  These juveniles are small, about 2-5 cm, and  associate with mixed groups of the labrids <i>Halichoeres penrosei</i>  and <i>Thalassoma noronhanum</i>, which have a similar colour pattern.  This association may be considered as a form of social mimicry (Ref. 84274).
