Adults inhabit inshore and offshore coral or rocky reefs. Also in shallow coastal reef flats or crests, usually where lots of tall soft corals or hydroid colonies are present (Ref.
48636
). Often found in groups feeding at midwater or tending nests among rocks and coral ledges (Ref.
90102
). Feed on zooplankton and algae and aggregates high in the water column (Ref.
9710
). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref.
205
). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref.
205
). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref.
205
).

Larvae
Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref.
205
). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref.
205
). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref.
205
), mostly deposited on rocks or dead corals (Ref.
128523
). Males may manifest cannibalism occasionally (Ref.
128523
).
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 3258 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

): PD
50
= 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02188 (0.01267 - 0.03777), b=3.10 (2.95 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.

).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 2.7 ±0.30 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179
): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
