Comments: Occurs in lagoon pinnacles, channels, and outer reef slopes, in coral-rich (Ref. 1937) areas and with clear waters.  Juveniles in seagrass beds (Ref. 30573, 41878).  Feeds on fishes, crabs, and cephalopods.  May be ciguatoxic in some areas (Ref. 1602).  Mainly active at dusk (Ref. 48635).  Palau fishers increase their drop-line and spear-gun catches through knowledge of reproductive cycle of remochel, one of most important species in the area (Ref. 2928).  Cultured under experimental conditions in the Philippines; a candidate for aquaculture in Singapore.  In Hong Kong live fish markets (Ref. 27253). Caught with hook-and-line, traps, and spear and occasionally seen in local markets (Ref. 39231).
