Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6-9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6 - 9. Characterized by semi-transparent reddish body color, blends in well with host gorgonian; iris with gold inner ring, broad red outer ring; 2-4 lowermost pectoral rays are unbranched; longitudinal scale series 37-79; short and cup-like pelvic fins; thickened and lobed skin surrounding pelvic spines; opening of gill extending ventrally to below pectoral fin base (Ref. 90102).

Benthic (Ref. 58302). Live exclusively on, or in close association with gorgonian seawhips Junceella fragilis and Junceela juncea which usually occur in groups in areas exposed to currents at depths of 5 to more than 30 m (Ref. 1602, 58302). May also live on other species like Ellisella maculata, or even on mooring lines (Ref. 1602). Also Ref. 48637.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 28.9, mean 27.7 °C (based on 518 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00332 - 0.01511), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 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).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 243 [103, 522] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.05 [0.50, 2.11] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.8 [15.8, 19.5] % ; Omega3 = 0.104 [0.042, 0.222] g/100g ; Selenium = 25.4 [10.3, 64.5] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 143 [36, 543] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.78 [1.71, 4.30] mg/100g (wet weight);
