As juveniles they live on sandy beaches with a lot of wave action. As adults they live in clear coastal waters usually near coral reefs feeding on small fishes, mollusks, crustaceans and worms. So make sure to offer them a varied diet of meaty food and watch out combining them with shrimps and fishes that fit their mouths!
