Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 24. Translucent when fresh with a reddish cast, overlaid with iridescence particularly on abdomen and operculum predominated by golden hues; dusky caudal fin with hyaline border; 1st and 2nd dorsal and anal fin pale to dusky or blackish, other fins are clear with pink rays. Anterior nostril without long flap. Rhomboid caudal fin. 23-24 scales in longitudinal series. Gill rakers 4-5+11-13, 1-7 developed. Convex interorbital space. Oblique mouth. Predorsal scales 10 (9-11). This species resembles P. amblyuroptera and P. gelatinosa but has larger scales (LR<=24) (Ref. 37816).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits lagoon and seaward reefs; hides in small caves and under ledges. Solitary and usually seen at night (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.2 - 29, mean 27.9 (based on 664 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
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).
