Семейство насчитывает 22 рода и более 100 видов, населяющих тропические и субтропические воды Атлантического, Индийского и Тихого океанов. Обитают, как правило, на мелководье среди коралловых рифов и зарослей растительности. Многие ведут скрытный образ жизни. Их пищу обычно составляют донные беспозвоночные, а в диете некоторых видов значительную роль играют гидроиды, кораллы и даже губки.
