Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Collected from mixed sand-coral habitats. Lives mainly on coastal reefs and most often found on outcrops of coral in sheltered sandy bays subject to moderate tidal currents (Ref. 48637). Occurs singly or in groups among the branches of gorgonians, soft corals, or finely-branched fire corals (Ref. 37816, 48637).
