Adults occur in lagoons, steep-sided channels, and seaward reefs from 2 to over 12 m (Ref. 1602). Usually found in groups off the sides of vertical drop-offs and overhanging ledges (Ref. 1602). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Diurnal species (Ref. 54980; 113699). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
