Distribution and habitat preferences

Commonly offshore but occurs frequently in inshore areas as well. Juveniles are found over soft substrates in shallow and sheltered coastal waters. They are often found over seagrass beds in mangrove-lined creeks. Larger fish move into exposed, coastal waters, such as around rocky headlands, near reefs and the surf zone.
