Description
provided by World Register of Marine Species
Juveniles found in inshore coral reefs, and adults are more common in deeper water. Feeds on small fishes and crabs. It has been suggested that juveniles mimic the herbivorous damselfish @Neopomacentrus sindensis@, presumably to get closer to their unsuspecting prey.
