Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 9. Variable in color from pinkish to bright red or purple and dorsal fin often bright yellow in adults (Ref. 48636).

Occurs in outer reefs over bottom of coral rubble or heads of small finely branched coral. Feeds on zooplankton. Usually occurs in moderately large groups in depths of about 20-25 m (Ref. 48636).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28 - 29, mean 28.6 °C (based on 238 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01585 (0.00707 - 0.03555), b=2.95 (2.76 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 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).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
