Ecology Summary - Neoniphon sammara

Lengua:

Referencia principal	Myers, R.F., 1991
Observaciones	Less secretive than most other species of squirrelfish. During the day, it hovers in small groups in the vicinity of branching corals, rocks, or ledges to feed primarily on isopods; at night it feeds on benthic crustaceans. This schooling species inhabits seagrass beds and hard-bottomed habitats from the reef flat to depths of 46 m or more on lagoon and seaward reefs. Often found with branching Acropora coral (Ref. 9710). Most common Neophion found in shallow areas (Ref. 9710). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 30573), small crabs, and shrimps at night. Also Ref. 58534.
