Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 7; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 9; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 2; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 9 - 10. This species is characterized by the following: D VI-I; 9, A II, 9; an intermittent black stripe from the snout to the middle of the opercle; no black blotch on the caudal-fin base (Ref. 109581); semi-transparent body with yellowish sheen on head and belly; side of snout with black spot or short stripe; each caudal fin lobe with blackish submarginal band; greatest depth of body 3.8-4.3 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Forms large shoals among rocks or above corals of lagoon patch reefs (Ref. 1602). Often schools with R. gracilis (Ref. 37816). Spreads out at night, floating mid-water to catch plankton (Ref. 48635).
