Adults occur singly or in small groups in inshore reef and lagoon environments. Feed on algae, gastropods, and small crabs. Highly territorial (Ref. 9710). 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).
