Lengua:

Referencia principal	Lieske, E. and R. Myers, 1994
Observaciones	Occur inshore (Ref. 75154). Juveniles found in lagoons; adults in clear outer lagoon and seaward reefs up to depths of at least 30 m (Ref. 9710). Sleeps in caves and often in shipwrecks at night (Ref. 48636). Usually in small groups and feeds on benthic algae, live corals (Ref. 9710) and shellfishes (Ref. 58784).
