Comments: Occurs on rocky substrate deeper than 53 m; in a small group of one dominant male and several females.  The harems were on a protected slope with less current but were not on steep cliff, never swimming high above the substrate.  Each harem occupies an area about 20-25 m2, no fighting between males on the boundary of 2 harems.  Occasionally 2 or 3 males share boundaries.  While females swim close to the substrate, the males are more active and swim higher up in the water column.  Feeds on plankton about 1 m above the substrate.
