I can't find any decent info on aquarium care for weedfish either, they are pretty rare in the hobby. As far as it's behavior goes, I just looked at the fish, deductive reasoning basically.

No swim bladder so it doesn't cruise. Plankton feeders need to move around a lot.
Eyes are relatively high and set forward making binocular vision possible.
Mouth shape is not adapted for eating small prey like pods, compare to a 6 line wrasse.

It's built a lot like a hawk fish so you can be sure it acts like one too.
