Adults inhabit clear coastal reefs with moderate currents (Ref. 9710, 48636). Usually in small groups on sponges or reef outcrops. They feed on zooplankton (Ref. 48636). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114). Minimum depth of 0 m reported from Ref. 13227.

This triplefin occurs in clear waters with moderate current from the surface down to 30 meters depth.[4][5] It is normally found perched on coral or other hard surfaces where it watches for drifting food.[6]
