Remarks Observed on a gradual, current-swept reef slope at depths of 32-45m. The fish were seen solitary under large Xestospongia barrel sponges; other surrounding benthos were primarily gorgonian sea fans and low-growing hard corals and coral rubble. The fish were extremely shy and retiring and disappeared immediately under barrel sponges when approached (Ref. 80681).
