Intermediate habitats; also found in pure rocky habitats.
Geographic distribution:
First recognized at Mumbo Island; later recorded at
locations south of Senga Point, including Chinyankwazi Island and
Zimbabwe Rock.
Feeding:
Most individuals behave as opportunistic scavengers and are attracted
to stirred-up material. At Mumbo Island some individuals were observed
rolling over small pebbles while foraging.
Breeding:
Breeding males were encountered only at Boadzulu Island, where they
defended small sand-scrape bowers at depths of 20–25 m.
Mouthbrooding females were solitary at the same depths.
