Eastern Pacific: Costa Rica and from Cocos, Malpelo and Galapagos islands (Ref. 9334).
Adults inhabit coral and rocky reefs (Ref. 9334). Omnivorous (Ref. 9334). Adults are territorial and aggressive, vigorously driving off other fishes and certain invertebrates from their feeding and reproductive territories. They graze on algae and invertebrates including tubeworms, small crustaceans, and the tentacles of anemones (Ref. 28023). 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).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02087 (-0.14952 - 0.19125), b=2.98 (2.89 - 3.06), based on LWR estimates for this genus-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.39 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tmax=27).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100) .
