Comments: This species is a facultative cleaner; it has been observed to feed on periphyton and to clean parasites from <i>Lethrinops</i> cf. <i>lituris</i>; additionally, it has been observed to clean parasites from <i>Cyrtocara</i> cf. <i>fenestrata</i> and <i>Cyrtocara</i> cf. <i>picta</i> (Ref. 36956). The host fish approaches the cleaner and positions itself with its dorsal fin oriented toward the cleaner, and permits the cleaner to remove ectoparasites from its fins and skin (Ref. 36956).
