Feeding Nocturnal carnivore - forms small resting aggregations during the day, before spreading out over the reef to feed on benthic invertebrate at night. Etymology The specific name melanacrum is from the Greek melanos meaning 'black', and akros meaning 'tip' or 'at the end', in reference to the black outer part of the anal and pelvic fins, and the lower part of caudal fin.
