| Zebrasoma flavescens from the lagoon of NAUSICAA. Inhabits coral-rich areas of lagoon and seaward reefs from below the surge zone to about 46 m. Engybenthic over rock at 1-81 m. Occurs singly or in loose groups and browses on filamentous algae. A popular aquarium fish and the top marine fish export from Hawaii. Group spawning and pair-spawning by territorial males that court passing females were observed. Presence of a venom gland could not be determined despite the presence of distinct anterolateral grooves; this may be due to the loss of venom glands in adults. |
