Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 16; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 15 - 18. This species is distinguished by the following characters: first dorsal fin is tall; the crescent-shaped supraoccipital sensory canal; white to yellowish band across the posterior portion of second dorsal fin, the continuing to lateral line; further, with D III + XII-XIII + 8-10 (usually III + XII + 8 or 9, rarely 10); A I,15-18 (rarely 15, usually 17); pectoral-fin 14, with all rays simple; lateral line with 10-12 (usually 12) pored scales, 21-23 (usually 21) notched scales and total lateral scales 27-28; dentary pores 2 + 1 or 2 + 2, usually 2 + 2 + 2; head 3.3-4.0 [3.5] in SL; eye 2.6-3.2 [3.0] in HL: head, chest and pectoral-fin base are naked; nape scaled; abdomen naked, but scales extend to base of dorsal and anal fins; a row of scales at base of caudal fin; supratemporal sensory canal is crescent-shaped; supraorbital cirrus a rounded, flat ‘paddle’, its length about equal to pupil diameter; the first dorsal fin higher than second in adult males, while equal to slightly higher in females and in juveniles; the longest pectoral-fin ray reaches junction between second and third dorsal fins; longest pelvic-fin ray reaches first anal-fin ray in some individuals (Ref. 88983).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in shallow water, on dead corals near the base of reefs (Ref. 88983).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00258 - 0.01228), b=3.08 (2.89 - 3.27), 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).
