Ecology of Axiopsis serratifrons

Main Ref.	Felder, D.L., P.C. Dworschak, R. Robles, H.D. Bracken, A.M. Windsor, J.M. Felder and R. Lemaitre, 2009
Remarks	Lives in pairs in simple burrows (Ref. 87257) among coarse sand and coral rubble (Ref. 86837) at edges of seagrass meadows (Ref. 87256) and shallow back-reef areas (Ref. 87268). May exhibit debris-capturing behavior as they eat drifting plants (Ref. 86848).
