Description Found close inshore to well offshore near on the insular or continental shelves, on rugged coral and rocky bottoms. Capable of crossing considerable distances of open ocean between islands (at least 50 km). Juveniles found in shallower waters. Feeds mainly on fishes and less on cephalopods and crustaceans. Viviparous (with a yolk-sac placenta), 6 to 16 young in a litter. Found in superficial aggregations. Aggresive. Incriminated in human attacks. [details]
