The Raccoon Butterflyfish is a nocturnal species that is usually in pairs or small groups in shallow reef flats of lagoon and seaward reefs. Juveniles prefer to swim among rocks of inner reef flats and in tide pools. Adults feed mainly on nudibranches, tubeworm tentacles, and other benthic invertebrates including algae and coral polyps.
