Comments: Inhabits protected waters at depths greater than 25 m, often in silty reef areas than well developed coral reefs with clear water (Ref. 12419). Tends to hide in caves or crevices during the day that capture by trawling was unexpected (Ref. 5378).  Usually seen in pairs, but occasionally schools in some oceanic locations (Ref. 48635).
