Trophic Strategy
Solitary or in small groups . Stomach contents of 40 adults include crabs (with raninids and galatheids) as dominant prey, 45.3% by volume, followed by shrimps (26.9%), fishes (including Ptereleotris heteropterus (16.4%), stomatopods (3.2%), and the remaining prey in the order by volume: fish eggs, octopus, polychaetes, unidentified crustaceans, crab and hermit crab larvae, bivalve molluscs, amphipods, caprellids, and gastropods. Forams previously reported were probably ingested incidentally with sand . Feeds heavily on nocturnal forms, especially xanthid crabs, that are concealed in daytime shelters .
