It acquires the poisonous neurotoxin from its food, including a poisonous sea cucumber (Ref. 85383). Maximum depth from Ref. 132434. Intertidal (Ref. 106854). Inhabits littoral and sublittoral areas with rocky and coral rubble substrates, and coral reefs (Ref. 85383). Reaches depths of 30 meters. In rock crevices (Ref. 132434).
