Generally seen in pairs on steep outer reef slopes, drop-offs (Ref. 9710), in caves or along the bases of boulders (Ref.48636); in rich coral growth interspersed with sand (Ref. 37816). Usually occurs in loose groups of females dominated by a male. Sometimes feeds on plankton high above the substrate (Ref.48636).
