Comments: Commonly found on shallow and deep reefs and exposed rocky ledges.  Feeds on various invertebrates.  Forms leks during breeding (Ref. 55367).  A protogynous hermaphrodite (Ref. 55367).  Constantly on the move but easily attracted by divers.  Generally of no interest to fisheries because of its small average size (Ref. 5217).
