Ecology Summary - Myripristis botche
Ecologia de Myripristis botche
 
Ref. principal Masuda, H. and G.R. Allen, 1993
Notas Inhabit protected waters at depths greater than 25 m, often in silty reef areas than well developed coral reefs with clear water (Ref. 12419); also in rocky reefs (Ref. 9137). Their selected biotope (ring-shaped coral pockets), unlike linear crevice in a rock or coral, enables the fish to escape currents of any orientation arising from tidal and wave cumulation (Ref. 57783). A nocturnal species (Ref. 75154); tends to hide in caves or crevices during the day. Usually seen in pairs, but occasionally schools in some oceanic locations (Ref. 48635). An individual was observed hovering around a dead coral in the middle of a sandy bottom habitat (Ref. 120711).
