Orbiculate batfish usually live in pairs in coral reefs, lagoons, near ledges, at depths between 5 and 35 metres. They can be found in groups in open water. Juveniles live in sheltered areas of mangroves and lagoons, at shallow depths (less than 20 metres).
The orbiculate batfish takes its name from its morphology as it grows: it first grows in length with large fins. Then it grows in width.
This fish can be identified by its flattened silvery body and its two vertical black stripes. It measures 50 cm on average, but can reach 60 cm.
To protect themselves from predators, juvenile orbiculate batfish mimic dead leaves and plant debris by floating on the surface, lying on their sides.
