The red moki is a long-lived territorial reef fish, curious, slow moving and easy to catch. It is not a commercial species but it is being seriously depleted in many areas by set netting and spear fishing. Apart from individuals in marine reserves, like nearly all other marine life the species is not protected in any way.
