Description
Physical Description
Size/Age/Growth
Males are commonly 12 cm (Total Length) in length when caught/marketed, but may be as large as 15 cm (Total Length).
Habitat
Occur in coral-rich lagoons and semi-protected seaward reefs. May be found at depths of 2 to 20 meters.
Typically found in water with a depth of 0 to -6,737 meters (0 to -22,103 feet).[1]
Ecology:
This species is found in coral
rich, protected areas
in lagoons
and
on seaward reefs (Steene 1978, Pyle 2001, G.R. Allen pers. comm.
2006). It is usually encountered in pairs roaming the reef, avoiding
other individuals of the same species (Steene 1978). It is an obligate
corallivore
that feeds
on a wide range
of different corals
. (Ref.
262200).

- 9.8.1 Outer Reef Channel
- 9.8.2 Back Slope
- 9.8.3 Foreslope (Outer Reef Slope)
- 9.8.4 Lagoon [more info]
Biology
Diet
Feed exclusively on coral polyps, particularly of the Pocillopora type [2][3].
Reproduction
Oviparous [4].
Behavior
Territorial and aggressive to other Chaetodon. Small juveniles secretive in corals [3]. Swim in pairs.
