Biologie     Fachlexikon (Englisch) (z.B. epibenthic)

This occasionally schooling species occurs in steep outer reef slopes and drop-offs (Ref. 1602, 48637). Benthopelagic over coral and sand (Ref. 58302). Feeds on zooplankton, particularly large gelatinous forms, and on fish eggs and crustaceans (Ref. 1920). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
