Comments: Occurs in flat or gently sloping areas, mixed <i>Halimeda</i> sand and rubble bottoms with scattered, low outcrops of rock or coral, usually on exposed outer reefs with periodic strong currents. The species appears to be common at Ayau Atoll and typically occurs in groups of about 10-20 individuals, the majority of which are initial phase fish (Ref. 103842).
