Usually solitary although many individuals may be observed at one time. Feeds on small snails that specifically live on the biocover (Chytra kirki, Spekia zonata, Paramelania demoni and Tanganycia rufofilosa). Also feeds on the eggs of the killifish, Lamprichthys tanganicanus. Leaves the rocky biotope to breed in the sandy bottom (Ref. 7343).
