Ranges from Paraíba south to Santa Catarina, including Manuel Luiz Reefs, Atol das Rocas, Fernando de Noronha, St. Paul’s Rocks, Zumbi Reefs, Abrolhos Reefs, and Trindade Island (Ref. 57756). Feeds on spinner dolphins’ feces and vomits at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. The offal feeding may be regarded as a simple behavioral shift from plankton feeding to drifting offal picking (Ref. 48727). Traded as an aquarium fish at Fortaleza, Ceará (Ref. 49392). Also Ref. 3139, 13121, 33499 and 35834. |
