<p>The streamlined spinefoot is normally found in large, fast swimming schools on the water column clear of the seabed, every now and again they all dive down to the substrare to feed. Juveniles and adults may be encountered in small schools of 2–100 individuals near coral reefs, usually in the surge zone on the edge of the reef. Juveniles inhabit the water close to the surface in dense schools as far as several kilometres offshore, moving on to reef flats just before metamorphosis.<sup id="cite_ref-Fishbase_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fishbase-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The streamlined spinefoot has a diet made up of red and green <a href="Macroalgae" class="mw-redirect" title="Macroalgae">macroalgae</a> and it is one of the few herbivorous fishes that is able to eat the chemically rich macroalgae <i>Chlorodesmis fastigata</i>, however, this algae may only be eaten opportunistically and is likely a minor part of the total diet.<sup id="cite_ref-iucn_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-iucn-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They have spines which can inject venom into an attacker.<sup id="cite_ref-Fishbase_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fishbase-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Streamlined spinefoot are frequently recorded in markets in parts of their range, both as juveniles and adults. The pre-juveniles are taken as they migrate to reef flat areas in a brief but important part of local fisheries, e.g. in Guam. They are consumed fresh, pickled in brine, or made into fish paste.<sup id="cite_ref-FAO_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FAO-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
