Migration
Amphidromous. Refers to fishes that regularly migrate between freshwater and the sea (in both directions), but not for the purpose of breeding, as in anadromous and catadromous species. Sub-division of diadromous. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.

Trophic Strategy
Inhabits coral reefs , coastal and oceanic waters associated with reefs . Commonly encountered on the edge of coral reefs. Young occurs in brackish water areas out to deeper coastal waters. Juveniles may be encountered in estuaries , occasionally entering rivers and penetrating well inland . Adults are found in coral reefs and are mostly active at night or during twilight periods. During the day they are usually seen milling in stationary aggregations . Occasionally enters rivers . Forms slow-moving schools in the passes or outside the reef during the
