Ingests sand when feeding on algae (Ref. 13442). The spine on both sides of the caudal peduncle may inflict painful wounds (Ref. 5217). Minimum depth reported from Ref. 27115. Larvae are planktonic (Ref. 47377). At Fernando de Noronha Archipelago in southwestern Atlantic, juveniles hold cleaning stations together with the blue tang (Acanthurus coeruleus) and sergeant major (Abudefduf saxatilis) and graze algae as well as pick molted skin and parasites from green turtles (Chelonia mydas). This behavior is preceded by a characteristic inspection usually followed by feeding nips on the turtles’ skin (head, limbs, and tail), as well as on the carapace. The most inspected and cleaned body parts are the flippers (Ref. 51385). Robins, C.R. and G.C. Ray 1986 A field guide to Atlantic coast fishes of North America.

Minimum depth reported from Ref. 27115. Also cleaned by Thalassoma noronhanum observed at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago off northeastern Brazil (Ref. 36301), by Elacatinus figaro observed off the coast of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil (Ref. 40102), and by Pomacanthus paru observed at the reefs of the Abrolhos Archipelago, off eastern Brazil (Ref. 40094). Predominantly inhabits forereefs (Ref. 128694).Showed selection for sand and chlorophytes (Ref. 55789). Roving herbivore (Ref. 57616). Also Ref. 33499. Exhibits facultative feeding. Group of this species was observed to be feeding on a tuna head, possibly Euthynnus sp., at a depth of 4.5 m. It is common in this diving site to see fish flesh as it's typically used in fishing and diving activities as bait to attract fish and sharks (Ref. 122732).
