🌀 Behaviour
Members of Peristediidae use their sensory projections to hunt for food considering the weak light at the depth in which they reside. They are solitary and typically associate with other members once peak breeding season has occurred.
🦐 Diet
Family Peristediidae are known predators. They use detached pectoral-fins and rostral projections to hunt for benthic fish and crustaceans that live within the sand. The projections have sensory pores that detect the submerged prey. Other members of Peristediidae have been known to have common organisms in their diet such as crustaceans and mollusks.
