Trophic Strategy
Primarily an insular species . Usually solitary, it occurs in seagrass beds as well as over sand, rubble, or coral and rock bottoms of shallow lagoon and seaward reefs to a depth of at least 46 m . Juveniles in small groups. Stomach contents of 15 specimens consisted of crab larvae (36%), polychaete worms (20%), and the rest in the order by volume: shrimps, heart urchins, sipunculids, bivalve molluscs, foraminifera, brittlestars, fishes, amphipods, stomatopods, small gastropods, and unidentified small crustaceans .
