Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

Found in coral rich to algae-covered rocky areas of lagoon and seaward reefs including estuarine areas. Usually paired (Ref. 9710). Omnivorous and feeds on algae, coral, and small benthic invertebrates. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Form pairs during breeding (Ref. 205). Maintaining this species in captivity is difficult.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
