Threatened by extinction due to collection for the aquarium trade (Ref. 27438, 35396). 中西太平洋: 顯然地侷限於 Banggai 島，印尼了。 受到威脅的由於滅絕為水族貿易由於收集.(參考文獻 27438,35396)

Common around the jetty, in silty sand bottoms with seagrass (Enhalus acoroides). Associated with Diadema setosum, the long-spined sea urchins. Individuals of 2 to 60 hover directly above the urchins, with the younger ones about 2-3 cm SL staying closer to the urchins. The fish retreat among the spines when threatened. Probably feed on small benthic and planktonic crustaceans at night. Male incubates the eggs until hatching; the large egg about 2.5 mm in diameter, with the young remaining within the mouth cavity for undetermined period after hatching (Ref. 9936, 48635). Newly hatched larvae have no planktonic period (Ref. 35886). Juveniles also use anemones for protection (Ref. 45560, 48635). Has been reared in captivity (Ref. 35417).
The male takes the eggs into its mouth where these and the larvae remain until young fish of about 8mm SL are released. Distinct pairing during courtship and spawning (Ref. 205). Also Ref. 240.中西太平洋: 顯然地侷限於 Banggai 島，印尼了。 受到威脅的由於滅絕為水族貿易由於收集.(參考文獻 27438,35396)
