	<dc:description>Common species (Ref. 34024).  Adults typically live as commensals in the gut of shallow-water holothurians, Holothuria tubulosa and Stichopus regalis (although some deep-water records exist, see Ref. 6347).  Prejuveniles (tenuis larvae) probably inhabit the same host species while the vexillifer and egg-rafts are planktonic.  The fish may partly protrude or entirely leave its host at night to feed on small fish and benthic invertebrates.  Reproduction noted in July-September.  (Ref. 4741).</dc:description>
