	<dc:description>Found between rocks and corals of intertidal reef flats, also in shallow lagoon and seaward reefs to depths of at least 10 m (Ref. 9710, 58302).  Benthic (Ref. 58302).  Occasionally leaves the water and travels between tidal pools (Ref. 1602).  Feeds on fish and crabs, mainly on crustaceans (Ref. 1602).  Also Ref. 9137, 58534.  Number of strikes and time to locate a capture a prey did not differ significantly, whether feeding on small or large prey.  Prey manipulation and feeding involve behaviors such as orientation, 'M' (i.e., the eel moves in a general forward and/or reverse direction, possibly forming an "M" configuration), rotation, shaking, releasing and feeding when feeding on small prey; however, behaviors such as orientation, 'M,' rotation, knotting 1, knotting 2, probing, releasing and feeding define those which feed on large prey.  Manipulating and feeding on different sizes varies in terms of time involved; larger prey takes six times as long as small prey (Ref. 118229).</dc:description>
