Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9 - 10; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 12. Small juveniles are bright yellow and females become more orange as red lines develop. Males are mainly pink with red lines (Ref. 48636).

Adults are common around rubble and sand in steep outer reef slopes (Ref. 9710), and drop-offs, usually adjacent to very deep water. They form small aggregations in soft bottom habitats with sponges and soft corals. The group usually comprising juveniles and females which are dominated by a large male (Ref. 48636). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128797.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.6 - 28.3, mean 27.3 (based on 154 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00551 - 0.02625), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.49 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
