Description Usually found in shallow inshore waters. Common around bays, estuaries, off beaches and coral reefs but may cross oceanic basins (Ref. 9862). Swims close to the surface, occasionally leaping out of the water, or close to the bottom (Ref. 3175). Frequently forms large schools during the nonbreeding season (Ref. 7251). Feeds mainly on bivalves but also eats shrimps, crabs, octopus and worms, whelks, and small fishes (Ref.9862). [details]
