Comments: Found in coastal reefs, sandbanks, and near estuaries (Ref. 30573).  Enter freshwater (Ref. 7050).  Small juveniles occur along sheltered sandy shorelines where they mimic a dead leaf by drifting on their sides (Ref. 37816).  Adults mainly in protected inshore reefs to deep offshore, sometimes swims in small groups (Ref. 48635).  Excellent food fish (Ref. 2799).
