Comments: Adults are benthopelagic in outer reef slopes and offshore banks to 160 m or more.  They form small groups (Ref. 9283, 26235, 58302). Young often seen around floating objects (Ref. 4887, 48635).  They feed mainly on fishes, but also on invertebrates.  Eggs are pelagic (Ref. 4233).  Marketed fresh and salted or dried (Ref. 9283).  May cause ciguatera poisoning, particularly in coral reef areas (Ref. 5217).  Uncommon on East Indian reefs but occasionally found in cool upwelling areas of Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia (Ref. 90102).
