Description Found on hard substrates of shallow lagoon and seaward reefs from the lower surge zone to a depth of more than 15 m. Feeds on filamentous algae. A species at the bottom of the 'pecking order' among surgeonfishes, and as a result employs the strategy of feeding in large schools that overwhelm the territorial defenses of other herbivores (Ref. 1602). Can be eaten both raw and cooked (Ref. 7364). [details]
