| Keterangan | Juveniles are encountered under ledges, or in holes of outer lagoon patch reefs or semi-protected areas of exposed channels and outer reef flats. Subadults move to reef front holes and surge channels. Large adults inhabit ledges and caves in areas of rich coral growth on clear lagoon, channel, or seaward reefs. Feed on sponges, algae and other encrusting organisms (Refs. 6113, 127989). Also on tunicates. Lives individually or may form pairs (Also Ref. 127989). Young and adults may clean much larger fishes such as sunfish (Ref. 48636). Solitary. Dwells in coral and rocky reefs, hiding behind narrow cracks and crevices. Feeds on sponges, coral polyps and algae. Eggs are free-floating (Ref. 9773). |
