Språk:

Main Ref.	Thollot, P., 1996
Anmärkningar	Occuring on coral reefs (Ref. 54301, 58534), often in overhangs (Ref. 122680). Largest bony fish found in coral reefs (Ref. 9710). Common in shallow waters. Found in caves (Ref. 48635, 122680) or wrecks; also in estuaries. Individuals more than a meter long have been caught from shore and in harbors. Juveniles secretive in reefs and rarely seen (Ref. 48635). Feed on spiny lobsters, fishes, including small sharks and batoids, and juvenile sea turtles and crustaceans. In South African estuaries, the main prey item is the mud crab, Scylla serrata.
