Trophic Strategy
provided by Fishbase
Dwells on soft sand, usually among rocks and coral, moving over the sand to feed but not straying too far from protection. Often seen at the bases of rocky and coral reefs, and along reef-sand interface (Ref. 28023, 11482). Forages on tiny crustaceans among rocks on the bottom. When foraging over sand, its orange spot tends to resemble sand grains and may camouflage them. However they dart about quickly and dive for cover when approached (Ref. 28023). Mobile-invertebrate feeder (Ref. 57615).
