Comments: Occurs in clear lagoon and seaward reefs around isolated coral heads.  Solitary or in small groups (Ref. 90102). Prefers sandy bottoms of bays and lagoons rather than the coral reefs like most other Acanthuridae.  The species is sometimes poisonous (Ref. 4795).  Caught with nets (Ref. 30573).  Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
