Remarks | Juveniles (4-7 cm SL) at depths 1-5 m in quieter waters of outer reef flats, about coral patches of Acropora. They may occur in large numbers & may form loose feeding schools with similar-sized S. corallinus, S. doliatus, S. spinus, & scarids. Pair bond formation at about 7 cm SL; with increasing size, pairs venture onto where currents & wave action are stronger. Pairs of large adults live in open water on faces of drop-offs of coral reefs at depths 3-10 m. |
