Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10 - 12; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 10 - 11. Characterized by whitish body color with three longitudinal rows of large brown spots; dark blotch behind eye; head with small dark spots/streaks; white spots on basal portion of pectoral fin; longitudinal scale series 54-57; opening of gill extending to vertical at posterior edge of preopercle; greatest depth of body 4.7-5.5 in SL; rounded caudal fin, about equal to head length (Ref. 90102).

Occurs in sand and rubble bottoms of shallow lagoons (Ref. 9710) and subtidal reef flats. Often with Ctenogobiops pomastictus. Usually in pairs and use the burrow of alpheid prawns for refuge. Lives in clear coastal and inner reefs on rubble flats and slopes in 6 to 20 meters depth range (Ref. 48637). Feeds on small benthic invertebrates (Ref. 89972).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 25.2 - 29.3, mean 28.3 (based on 2585 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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