Adults are usually found on outer reefs at the bottom of coral or rocky drop-offs, rarely in lagoons. They feed on small burrowing animals by sifting mouthfuls of sand. Monogamous (Ref. 34105, 48637, 52884). Eggs hatched 2 days after spawning in aquaria; 35 days after, the larvae reached 5.25 mm. Hoese, D.F. and H.K.

Rarely are they seen to pick up a small morsel apparently without sand. Individuals of a pair usually scoop sand alternately. When one looked up and released sand, the other scooped up sand (Ref. 34105). Clark, E., M.J. Stoll, T.K. Alburn and R.
