Enchelycore octaviana (Myers & Wade 1941)

Trophic Strategy

provided by Fishbase
Lives between rocks, boulder strewn areas and walls. Lurks in holes, crevices and dark recesses during the day; forage in the open at night. Constantly opens and closes its mouth-an action required for respiration-not a threat (Ref. 5227).
