Main Ref. Allen, G.R., 1985
Remarks Occurs inshore (Ref. 75154). Inhabits coral reefs, including sheltered lagoons and outer reefs (Ref. 30573, 58652). Enters lake (Ref. 13446). Usually found singly, often adjacent to steep outer reef slopes, but occasionally found in groups (Ref. 9710). Feeds mainly on fishes, but also takes shrimps, crabs, amphipods, stomatopods, gastropods and urochordates. Large fish from oceanic areas in the western Pacific are often ciguatoxic, e.g., in Tuvalu (Ref. 9513).
