Inhabits clear waters of coral reefs; more often found in exposed rather than protected reef areas (Ref. 5213). Feeds on fishes (80%, mainly Pseudanthias squamipinnis) and crustaceans. It forms haremic groups comprising of a dominant male and 2 to 12 females. These groups occupy territories of up to 475 sq m subdivided into secondary territories and defended by a single female (Ref. 6480). Generally common (Ref. 9710).
