Comments: Occurs on coarse white sand where the base of rocky reefs merged with the sand or in pools of sand.  The species was observed in groups of 15-20 individuals which are either on bottom or hovering approximately 10-30 cm over the substratum. The most common syntopic fish species observed in the area were <i>Gobius geniporus, Thorogobius macrolepis, Epinephelus marginatus, Epinephelus costae</i> and Lessepsian migrant <i>Torquigener flavimaculosus</i> which were also at high abundances in the area (Ref. 117534).
