Found in sheltered reefs with rich coral growth (Ref. 48635). Small groups are found among coral or rocks. Minimum depth reported from Ref. 27115. In aquarium settings, this species behaves aggressively towards other fishes (Ref. 125723).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Ägg | Fecundity | Larver

In the aquarium, mature male swims near a female to start courtship. After a while, the female is lured into the breeding cave arranged by the male (Ref. 125723).
