| Remarks | Inhabits solid substrates and sandy-silty sedimentary zones with seaweed or invertebrates for shelter, such as gorgonian and antipatharian corals, and sponges (Ref. 2355) in shallow waters to a depth 80 m. Feeds usually on moray eels and on various benthic fish within size range, 6 to 7 cm. Stalks prey along seabed. Generalist and opportunistic feeder.
