Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 19.3 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 9626)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 9; Raios dorsais (total) : 11; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 12. Juveniles yellow with silvery blue stripe along side. Super males (terminal males), have black vertical bar behind tip of pectoral fin, merging with broad black area on upper side, continuing to top of caudal peduncle and upper caudal fin. One of the easiest wrasses to identify at all its stages (Ref. 26938).
Commonly found on shallow and deep reefs and exposed rocky ledges. Feeds on various invertebrates. Forms leks during breeding (Ref. 55367). A protogynous hermaphrodite (Ref. 55367). Constantly on the move but easily attracted by divers. Generally of no interest to fisheries because of its small average size (Ref. 5217).
