Feeds mainly on fishes and benthic invertebrates (Ref. 11889), like shrimps, crabs, and other crustaceans (Ref. 9821). Dwells in reef areas, rocky shores and shallow waters. Juveniles inhabit estuaries, grass beds, mangrove swamps, and muddy substrates. Feeds on small crustaceans and small fish (Ref. 9773).
