Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 18 - 50 m (Ref. 48635). Tropical; 15°N - 20°S
Western Pacific: Philippines, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the Solomons, Fiji, and Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea; also in Rowley Shoals in the eastern Indian Ocean.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 2334)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 8; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 11 - 12; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8. Easily identified by the unusual coloration. The yellow is obvious but the red looks grey when seen in natural light (Ref. 48635). Differs from L. tonstrinum by having numerous red pinstripes on its sides, a less pronounced white lateral stripe, and a serrate posterior preopercular margin (Ref. 37816).
A benthic species (Ref. 75154), generally taken from caves (Ref. 1602) with rotenone used for collection (Ref. 1602). Also a ledge dweller and secretive (Ref 90102).
