| Notas | Found in coral reefs during the day where they feed occasionally in sand and rubble areas between coral heads. Usually form small schools (Ref. 2295). Selective feeders (Ref. 6059). In Australia, juveniles 2-3 cm long have been collected from shallow, shoreline seagrass beds near Townsville in November. They appear to live in shallow, inshore waters such as seagrass and mangrove areas, the fish moving into deeper water as they age (Ref. 27260, 28202). On the Great Barrier Reef, L. miniatus are frequent inhabitants of midshelf reefs to greater than 15 m, and shoals in inter-reef areas and frequently found on the outershelf and deep reef areas, 15-100 m. They can be found to 128 m on the Great Barrier Reef (Newman & Williams 1996). |
