Inhabits ledges and caves and crevices of steep outer reef slopes; occasionally found in clear lagoon reefs (Ref. 9071). It is secretive and rarely goes out more than a few centimeters from an escape hole (Ref. 9710). Forms pairs or small groups. Usually starves when kept in captivity (Ref. 48391). Often upside-down (Ref. 48636). Occasionally exported through the aquarium trade. Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
