| Note |
Description: Usually seen alone or in pairs (specially during spawning) but occasionally in small groups, particularly in the vicinity of staghorn @Acropora@ and @Goniopora@ (Ref. 5503) thickets. Diet consists of live corals which makes it difficult to maintain in captivity (Ref. 4858). Little intra- nor interspecific agressiveness (Ref. 5503). [details] | ||||||||||
