Comments: Juveniles prefer sheltered inner reefs while adults occur in areas of rich coral growth and high vertical relief of lagoon and seaward reefs.  Adults semi-silty coastal to about 50 m depth, often seen in pairs (Ref. 48636).  Occur solitary or mostly in pairs, are very elusive.  Emits loud grunting sounds when harassed.  Only the young make excellent aquarium fish (Ref. 4859).
