Description Found among coral heads and rocks of subtidal lagoon and seaward reefs to a depth of 55 m or more. Feeds mainly on filamentous green and red algae, tunicates, and on smaller amounts of corals, bryozoans, polychaetes, echinoderms, mollusks, and brown and coralline red algae. Forms shoals (10-100 or more) which often contains the filefish, @Paraluteres prionurus@ (about 5% of shoal) mimicking @C. valentini@ to protect it from predators (Refs. 4919 and 5503). [details]
