It is typically associated with rocky reefs and adjacent sandy areas (Allen 1980, Dominici-Arosemena and Wolff 2006). The juveniles can be found in tidal rock pools. Adults often range widely over the reef in pairs or loose aggregations whereas juveniles tend to be territorial and solitary. The diet consists largely of colonial tunicates and sponges (Allen 1980). Breeding occurs from midsummer to early fall and juveniles are most abundant from August through November.
