Description

Predominantly reef associated where it feeds upon its natural diet of small fish, crustaceans, motile invertebrates and worms. The social structure is that of a harem; a single large male will monopolize a harem of smaller females. Interestingly, if the male is lost, the largest female will assume the attitude and role of the male and mock spawn with the other smaller females - usually within the first hour. Over the next month the dominant female will carry on the actions of the male, engaging in apparent spawnings until such time as it becomes a male and begins producing sperm.
