Língua:

Ref. principal	Sano, M., M. Shimizu and Y. Nose, 1984
Notas	Occur inshore (Ref. 75154). Found in subtidal reef flats and lagoon and seaward reefs. Juveniles found among branching corals while adults found in areas of mixed sand, rubble, and coral (Ref. 9710). Feed mainly on small invertebrates, especially crustaceans, polychaete worms, molluscs and brittle stars (Ref. 9823). Diet changing from primarily demersal planktonic crustaceans to hard-shelled invertebrates with growth (Ref. 37816).
