At Bermuda and the West Indies, the species is common in shallow water, but it usually hides in caves or under ledges during the day. Males are territorial. Feeds on fish and benthic invertebrates (Ref. 33). Carnivore (Ref. 33499, 57616). Also cleaned by Thalassoma noronhanum observed at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago off northeastern Brazil (Ref. 36301). |
