Description Recorded from a temp. range of 26.0-29.0 °C (Ref. 4959). Inhabits nearshore and offshore coral reefs, coralline lagoons, seagrass beds, mangrove swamps and coastal sand and rock areas. Adults solitary or in small schools; juveniles form large schools in shallow, sheltered sandy areas. Feeds on echinoderms, molluscs and crustaceans, and to some extent on polychaetes and fish. May have a coppery or iodine taste or smell in the Indian Ocean (Ref. 2295). Also taken with handlines (Ref. 9775). [details]
