Description Occurs in lagoons or bays, in passes, or on outer reef slopes; over hard substrates as well as patches of rubble or sand, usually at the base of the reef. Adults are usually in pairs and share burrow which is often under a piece of rubble or slab of coral rock. Adults feed on current-borne zooplankton to as high as 3 m above the burrow; tend to remain together while feeding, separated by not more than 1-2 m. Juveniles occur in large groups, as many as 500.
