Trophic Strategy
Found in sheltered bays and lagoon patch reefs, typically forming dense aggregations at the entrance of caves and among branching corals . Exhibits the black gut phenomenon. In nocturnal predators, it appears to serve to conceal bioluminiscent prey in the stomach cavity . Also Ref. 58534.
