Ecology Summary - Gymnothorax moringa

Ngôn ngữ:

Thông tin chủ yếu	Randall, J.E., 1967
Các chú thích	Nocturnal (Ref. 118228). A benthic and solitary species (Ref. 26340) abundant in shallow rocky and grassy areas and on coral reefs; less common in turbid bays or harbors. Its bite is very dangerous (Ref. 5217). Cleaned by Pederson's cleaner shrimp (Periclimenes pedersoni) and goby (Gobiosoma evelynae and others) as observed on the coral reefs in Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles (Ref. 36810, 58534). Prefers to move and feed both on calm and inclement nights; fish consumption was higher though on inclement nights. Specializes on crabs as prey (Ref. 54519). Typically hidden during the day, often seen with their protruding heads from holes in the reef. Forages mainly in open seagrass beds. Documented for the first time to attack and swallow whole (within 10 to 15s) an injured adult red lionfish without being enticed (Ref. 118228).
