13132550. Orbicular batfish, Platax orbicularis, by sunset
Orbicular batfish, Platax orbicularis, by sunset. Juvenile fish use to protect themselves from predators on the mangrove drifting motionless with the current becoming easily mistaken for dead leaves. They often drift close to dead leaves what increases the similarity. They live in shallow protected coastal waters to deep, somewhat silty habitats. Adults are found singly or in small groups and occasionally in large schools. Juveniles occur singly or in small groups among mangroves and inner sheltered lagoons while adults move out to open waters over sandy areas of deep lagoons, channels, and seaward reefs to a depth of at least 30 m.
