Found in deep coastal to outer reef drop-offs and steep slopes. Occurs over rubble or sandy bottoms with small isolated patch reefs of low profile. Juveniles solitary among large rubble, usually in 2-30 m depth. Adults in loose aggregations in moderate depths, usually 40 m or more around patch reef (Ref. 48636).
