Observed in solitary, pairs or in large groups of up to 20 individuals, often in reef crests with rough waters, and eventually in sheltered sandy bottoms. Feeds mainly on small invertebrates, but also on small fishes (Ref. 128474). Associated with several species of small fishes: blennies Scartella itajobi, Ophioblennius trinitatis, Entomacrodus vomerinus; labrids Malacoctenus sp., Labrisomus kalisherae, Labrisomus conditus; and the goby Coryphopterus glaucofraenum (Ref. 128474).
