Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 26 - 29; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 24 - 26. Lower lip papillate posteriorly. Gill rakers on anterior row 26-29, on posterior row 34-37. Has brilliant blue spots covering the head, body, and pectoral fins and blue longitudinal pinstripes on the dorsal, anal and caudal fins (Ref 1602). Anterior dorsal soft rays longer than posterior (Ref 42056).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits shallow seaward reefs (Ref. 9710). Small schools may also be found in relatively turbulent waters of the surge zone (Ref. 9267). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on film algae (Ref. 89972).
