Main Ref. Randall, J.E., S.V. Bogorodsky, T.J. Ampermann, U. Satapoomin, R.D. Mooi and A.O. Mal, 2013
Remarks This fish is common on coral reefs (Ref. 6645); forming aggregations in caves or crevices or under overhangs (Ref. 48636) by day, but a few may at times be seen in the open, close to the shelter of reefs. This species is also observed forming small groups with Myripristis murdjan at 0.5-1 m below the surface. At night, it is known to feed on zooplankton (Ref. 94773).
