The lemonpeel angelfish is found in shallow water, typically shallower than 20 metres (66 ft), in areas richness coral growth in lagoons and seaward reefs.[3] The juveniles are more secretive then the adults.[2] They are normally encountered in small groups, a harem of a single male and several females. This species is a protogynous hermaphrodite and if there is no male in the group the dominant female may change to a male, and this change can be reversed.[1] It feeds mainly on filamentous algae.[
