Mexican Goatfish White head and body, often with some bluish tinting. They are common from central and southern Gulf of California and Pacific Coast of Baja to Panama. They may be solitary but are frequently seen in large, polarized schools. They inhabit sandy areas and feed by digging in the sand with their barbells. At night they rest on the bottom and change their color and daytime pattern to reddish blotches. They tend to be wary and move away when approached but can be closely observed by waiting in their path or making slow, non-threatening movements. Depths of 10 to 150'. | |
