Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 26. Diagnosis: 2nd dorsal-fin rays I,8 or 9; anal-fin rays I,7 or 8; pectoral-fin rays 16, all rays unbranched; segmented pelvic-fin rays unbranched, except 5th ray with single branching, all pelvic-fin rays connected by a well-developed membrane, extending nearly to tip of each ray, forming disk, pelvic frenum absent; sensory pores on dorsal surface of head reduced, only a single pair of mid-interorbital pores; other cephalic sensory pores include supraotic (1), anterior otic (1), and preopercular (2); missing head pores include nasal, anterior interorbital, and intertemporal; anterior nares forming enlarged tube, its length about half pupil diameter; color in life whitish to light pink with scattered red spots (Ref. 107790).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Closely associated with a bryozoan, which is provisionally identified as a member of the genus Triphyllozoon; the color pattern of the fish effectively blends with the coloration of the host invertebrate, and the fish effectively maintains a burrow within the folded recesses of the bryozoan colony; the depth range of collections and observations was about 15-30 m, usually on black volcanic-sand slopes, with the inconspicuous bryozoan colonies (roughly spherical-shaped with a diameter ranging from 3-7 cm) often attached to small pieces of coral rubble or volcanic rock (Ref. 107790).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [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):  3.0   ±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).
