	<dc:description>Adults inhabit shallow coastal sand and rubble flats, often near mangroves (Ref. 48637).  They occur in areas of fine sand in shallow lagoon reefs.  Adults occur in pairs while juveniles were often seen in small groups.  Feed on small invertebrates by sifting mouthfuls of sand.  Monogamous (Ref. 52884).  Oviparous (Ref. 205).  Breeding pairs are commonly found sharing a single burrow (Ref. 56281).</dc:description>
