	<dc:description>Found on continental slopes and down to deep-sea plains. Feeds on small fishes and invertebrates (Ref. 3330).  Epibenthic or bottom benthopelagic.  Dwells in rarity from coastal margins and off bottoms.  Associated with deep, cold-water coral reefs.  Feeds mainly on benthic and epibenthic invertebrates,  suggesting active hunting behavior.  Possibly nocturnal.  Oviparous (Ref. 117245).</dc:description>
