Comments: This species is generally found around isolated, small coral and rock outcrops in both silty and clear water reef environments, usually in about 10-45 m depth (sometimes seen as deep as 60 m).  Occurs solitarily or in small loose groups, is relatively curious and easy to photograph, though it invariably retreats into crevices or under coral heads when approached too closely (Ref. 89094).
