Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults occur inshore (Ref. 7300) at depths of 12 m or less in dead coral, reef flats, and on coral heads, habitats with somewhat less wave energy (Ref. 27772). Eggs are guarded by the male parent (Ref. 205).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Eggs are guarded by the male parent (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.2 - 29.3, mean 28.8 °C (based on 1571 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00468 (0.00177 - 0.01234), b=3.18 (2.95 - 3.41), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 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 = 168 [86, 287] mg/100g; Iron = 0.824 [0.475, 1.399] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.4, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.102 [0.056, 0.189] g/100g; Selenium = 20.1 [8.8, 43.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 161 [51, 493] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.05 [1.32, 3.00] mg/100g (wet weight);
