Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10; Vertebrae: 26. Pelvic frenum absent. Innermost pelvic-fin rays branched, connected to the ray of the opposite side by a basal membrane and smaller than immediately adjacent one (66 - 77% of its length). Elongate spine in the first dorsal fin absent. No spot above opercle (Ref. 52312). Two distinct dark spots, one above other, on pectoral fin base (Ref. 26938). With numerous small brown spots, the largest a series of 6 along lower side, and small pale blue-green flecks; horizontal dark lines on head, the most prominent posterior to eye; a vertical blackish line or two blackish spots at base of caudal fin (Ref. 13442).

Inhabits coral reefs, tide pools, limestone caves, algae-covered rocks and isolated patch reefs surrounded by white sand (Ref. 5521).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26 - 28.2, mean 27.4 (based on 697 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [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).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
