Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits upper portions of outer reef slopes (Ref. 1602). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Hovers above the bottom, facing the current to feed on zooplankton, copepods, and crustacean larvae.

Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797. Monogamous (Ref. 52884).
