Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12 - 14; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 13.
Adults inhabit lagoon and outer reefs in shallow areas exposed to mild or moderate surge. Feed on benthic algae and small invertebrates (Ref. 7247). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205). Highly territorial (Ref. 9710). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.
