Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 18 - 20; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 15 - 20; Vertebrae: 24.
Adults found over coral reefs in coastal waters below 60 m (Ref. 9710, 58534). Form schools. Juveniles solitary, found in surface waters and in estuaries; may mimic jellyfish. Feed on fishes, squids, and crustaceans (Ref. 5213).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.7 - 28.6, mean 27.4 °C (based on 763 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02512 (0.02012 - 0.03136), b=2.85 (2.79 - 2.91), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.53 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 6.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K = 0.17).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (62 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 23.9 [10.4, 45.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.587 [0.317, 1.205] mg/100g; Protein = 19.7 [18.5, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.108 [0.063, 0.203] g/100g; Selenium = 50.4 [25.5, 105.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 31.5 [7.3, 121.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.645 [0.418, 0.981] mg/100g (wet weight);
