Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) A common species found in a variety of habitats: coral and rocky reefs, tide pools, estuaries, mangrove swamps and sandy or mud bottom from shore to depths of 150 m. Solitary (Ref 90102). Juveniles found near shore and in estuaries; sex reversal probable; catch statistics poor being previously confused with E. andersoni (Ref. 4332 ). Feed primarily on fishes and crustaceans, and occasionally on cephalopods (Ref. 9710 ). Present in Hong Kong live fish markets (Ref. 27253 ). Widely used in mariculture mainly in the Far East (Ref. 43448 ).
