Comments: Inhabits coral reefs, rocky shores, and mangrove estuaries.  Free-living at 10.1 cm TL.  Feeds on squid, shelled molluscs, crustaceans, and snake eels (Ref. 43278).  Oviparous (Ref. 50449).  Of minimal interest to fisheries (Ref. 43278).  Caught rarely by demersal trammel and trawl fisheries operating inshore.  Utilized for its meat and possibly fins, but of limited value due to its small size (Ref.58048).
